Wow. This is a really difficult work, but extremely important. The accounts given by Litwack prior to the photographs set the stage and the tone to drive the point home in remembering our "American Holocaust."

Very very very important to read and gain knowledge on. Everyone should know the true facts of these events.

It took me a long time to finish this book despite most of it being pictures. Not only of course are l*nchings inhumane, but learning about how these became events with ballads written and handed out to onlookers, people traveling in to see it, having literal live theatre productions of this where you could pay to shoot the victim, taking pieces of the victims for souvenirs, racial infighting, and ultimately passing around these horrific images as postcards to send to people you know.
I can’t say that I urge everyone to look at this book as it’s so heavy and raw, but I learned how truly torturous these productions were.

This book will make you sick, but it is a book that needs to be viewed. The history of lynching in the south can not be forgotten. This book makes me wonder why Black people don’t cross the street when they see a white person coming.
