  • The Devil Is Watching You: Lynching and Southern Memory, 1940–1970
    THE DEVIL IS WATCHING YOU: LYNCHING AND SOUTHERN MEMORY, 1940–1970 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by MARI N. CRABTREE August 2014 ©2014 Mari N. Crabtree ii THE DEVIL IS WATCHING YOU: LYNCHING AND SOUTHERN MEMORY, 1940–1970 Mari N. Crabtree, Ph.D. Cornell University, 2014 This dissertation is a cultural history of lynching in African American and white southern memory. Mob violence had become relatively infrequent by 1940, yet it cast a long shadow over the region in the three decades that followed. By mining cultural sources, from folklore and photographs to my own interviews with the relatives of lynching victims, I uncover the ways in which memories of lynching seeped into contemporary conflicts over race and place during the long Civil Rights Era. The protest and counter-protest movements of the 1950s and 1960s garner most of the attention in discussions of racial violence during this period, but I argue that scholars must also be attentive to the memories of lynching that register on what Ralph Ellison called “the lower frequencies” to fully understand these legacies. For instance, African Americans often shielded their children from the most painful memories of local lynchings but would pass on stories about the vengeful ghosts of lynching victims to express their disgust with these unpunished crimes. By interpreting these memories through the lenses of silence, haunting, violence, and protest, I capture a broad range of legacies, from the subtle to the overt, that illustrate how and why lynching maintained its stranglehold on southern culture.

    2017 Senate Joint Resolution 7 ENROLLED JOINT RESOLUTION Relating to: proclaiming February 2017 as Black History Month. Whereas, Americans have recognized black history annually since 1926, first as “Negro History Week” and later as “Black History Month”; and Whereas, we are commemorating the 51st anniversary of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which drew from many African Americans taking a positive stance on breaking down the barriers to racial equality; and Whereas, African Americans in Wisconsin have made and continue to make outstanding contributions to our communities, and it is important to recognize the work of these leaders to combat negative stereotypes; and Whereas, Ezekiel Gillespie, born in Tennessee as a slave, purchased his freedom to go north; Ezekiel sold groceries and operated a local branch of the Underground Railroad, helping hundreds of African Americans escape slavery; and Whereas, Ezekiel Gillespie tied faith to the African−American community; he helped open Wisconsin’s first black church; and Whereas, Ezekiel Gillespie also led the charge for African−American suffrage when, in 1865, Ezekiel attempted to vote and was denied a ballot, and Ezekiel went on to sue for his right to vote in Gillespie v. Palmer, which led to the Wisconsin Supreme Court enforcing the 1849 referendum in favor of African−American male suffrage; and Whereas, Clayborn Benson, a native of Milwaukee, faced many challenges as an impoverished youth of color; he graduated from the old West Division High School despite being labeled “learning disabled;”

  • Senate Apology
    Senate Apology Last June 13, the United States Senate unanimously passed Senate Resolution 39 (see Resolution text in accompanying box), apologizing for that body’s past failure to enact federal anti-lynching legislation—legislation the House had passed three times (1922, 1937, 1940). Each time the House-passed bill came to the Senate, Southern members used “states’ rights” arguments and the filibuster and other parliamentary maneuvers to prevent a floor vote—which most likely would have approved the bill. Senate Resolution 39 was an extraordinary action, reported widely in the media. The effort was the result of several years of organizing/lobbying by The Committee For A Formal Apology—initiated by publication of Without Sanctuary: Lynching Photography in America, by James Allen (Twin Palms Twelve Trees Press, 2000), the mind-blowing and sickening collection of photos, not only of the victims but of the festive crowds that regularly attended these horrific acts. Eighty of the Senate’s 100 members were original co-endorsers of the resolution, introduced by Mary Landrieu (D- LA) and George Allen (R-VA); the remaining 20 took a lot of heat for their silence, leading 12 of them to add their names. The 8 holdouts, all Republicans, were both Mississippi Senators (Thad Cochran and Trent Lott), both Wyoming Senators (Craig Thomas and Michael Enzi), both New Hampshire Senators (Judd Gregg and John Sununu), Texas’ John Cornyn and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee. Although Senate Majority Leader Bill First joined as a co-endorser, he acted to protect his holdout colleagues by preventing a roll call vote and by scheduling the bill’s hearing on a Monday evening, a time when the Senate chamber is nearly empty.
