Introduction “If Elbert Williams is not avenged, if Elisha Davis, Rev. Buster Walker and the other refugees dare not return to their homes, just because they sought to exercise their right to vote, then democracy has no meaning, is a grim and empty fiction, is a terrible jest.”1 During the 2012 presidential election, issues of race and voter participation, which proved so volatile in 1940s Brownsville, Tennessee returned to the political agenda once more. A number of states enacted measures purportedly to minimize voter fraud that could also decrease participation of voters of color.2 While the tools states employ to suppress votes of color have changed over time, the underlying motivations to deter black vote participation have been a longstanding part of this nation’s history. Today, the US Justice Department stands poised to strike unlawful state measures under the Voting Rights Act of 1965. However, it was a very different Justice Department in 1940 and a far weaker system of federal civil rights laws.

  • Elisha Davis (Deceased) Elbert Williams (Deceased) Jack Adams (Deceased) – Victims CIVIL RIGHTS
    CIVIL RIGHTS DIVISION Notice to Close File File No. 144-72-2287 September 4, 2018 Date To: Chief, Criminal Section Re: Samuel “Tip” Hunter (Deceased) Albert Mann (Deceased) Ed Lee (Deceased) Brownsville, Tennessee – Subjects Elisha Davis (Deceased) Elbert Williams (Deceased) Jack Adams (Deceased) – Victims CIVIL RIGHTS Case Synopsis On June 20, 1940, Elbert Williams and Thomas Davis, both African-American men who were members of the NAACP in Brownsville, Tennessee, were abducted from their homes by Sheriff Samuel “Tip” Hunter, taken to the local jail, and questioned about the NAACP’s activities. Thomas Davis was released from jail into a waiting mob, but escaped unharmed. Williams’s body was discovered three days later, on June 23, 1940, in the Hatchie River. Just a few days before Williams and Thomas Davis were abducted, Thomas’s brother Elisha Davis had been abducted from his home by Sheriff Hunter, Police Officer Charles Reed, and a mob of white men. Elisha Davis was taken to a nearby river where he was questioned about the NAACP’s activities and told he would be killed unless he left town, which he did immediately. Another African-American man, Jack Adams, was brought to the river at the same time that Elisha Davis was threatened, but Adams was released unharmed. The men subject to abduction were all either founding members, or suspected members, of the recently-formed NAACP chapter in Brownsville. Chapter members had begun voter-registration efforts in the African- American community just a few months before the abductions began. A federal investigation began immediately after Elbert Williams’ death but was closed in 1942 without convening a federal grand jury.

    This site uses cookies. By continuing to browse this site you are agreeing to our use of cookies.× (More Information) Back to article page Back to article page Lynched for Drinking from a White Man’s Well Thomas Laqueur This April, the Equal Justice Initiative, a non-profit law firm in Montgomery, Alabama, opened a new museum and a memorial in the city, with the intention, as the Montgomery Advertiser put it, of encouraging people to remember ‘the sordid history of slavery and lynching and try to reconcile the horrors of our past’. The Legacy Museum documents the history of slavery, while the National Memorial for Peace and Justice commemorates the black victims of lynching in the American South between 1877 and 1950. For almost two decades the EJI and its executive director, Bryan Stevenson, have been fighting against the racial inequities of the American criminal justice system, and their legal trench warfare has met with considerable success in the Supreme Court. This legal work continues. But in 2012 the organisation decided to devote resources to a new strategy, hoping to change the cultural narratives that sustain the injustices it had been fighting. In 2013 it published a report called Slavery in America: The Montgomery Slave Trade, followed two years later by the first of three reports under the title Lynching in America, which between them detailed eight hundred cases that had never been documented before. The United States sometimes seems to be committed to amnesia, to forgetting its great national sin of chattel slavery and the violence, repression, endless injustices and humiliations that have sustained racial hierarchies since emancipation.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, MI 48106 - 1346 THE EVOLUTION OF RACISM THROUGH THE LENS OF LYNCHING RHETORIC AND MEMORY TAMMY BLUE HISTORY ABSTRACT The Evolution of Racism Through the Lens of Lynching Rhetoric and Memory, examines the use of ‘lynching’ in its definition, legislation and politics. Rhetoric has the power to influence and persuade, therefore when public figures manipulate lynching rhetoric, the meaning of lynching becomes distorted. In part, this thesis explores the difficulty of defining lynching. Among others, key players in this process included Walter White of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Monroe Work of the Tuskegee Institute, and Jessie Daniel Ames of the Association of Southern Women for the Prevention of Lynching (ASWPL).

  • Mamie Kirkland, Witness to an Era of Racial Terror, Dies at 111 - the New York Times
    1/11/2020 Mamie Kirkland, Witness to an Era of Racial Terror, Dies at 111 - The New York Times https://nyti.ms/36Gpj14 Mamie Kirkland, Witness to an Era of Racial Terror, Dies at 111 She endured the horrors of the African-American experience — lynchings, riots, the Ku Klux Klan — and worked to ensure that they never slipped from collective memory. By Dan Barry Published Jan. 9, 2020 Updated Jan. 10, 2020 Mamie Lang Kirkland died last month at her home in upstate New York. She was the mother of nine, the matriarch of another 158, a longtime saleswoman for Avon Products, and, at the time of her death, at 111, the oldest resident of Buffalo. That only begins to describe Ms. Kirkland. She was also the embodiment of the African-American experience of the 20th century, her life’s long journey altered repeatedly by the racial violence and bigotry coursing through the United States. Lynchings, riots, the Ku Klux Klan — she survived it all, and spent her centenarian years working to ensure that these realities never slipped from collective memory. Her life helped inspire the creation, in 2018, of the Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, in Montgomery, Ala. Both document the country’s history of racial terrorism and encourage social justice. Ms. Kirkland figures in two of the exhibits, said Sia Sanneh, a senior attorney with the Equal Justice Initiative, the nonprofit that started the memorials. “Her life was such an inspiration to us,” Ms. Sanneh said. “It embodied all those things.” Mamie Lang was born on Sept.
