Lynch Law in Georgia

** "Lynch Law in Georgia" by Ida B. Wells-Barnett is a late 1800s narrative unveiling the grim truth of lynchings in the American South, especially Georgia. It zeroes in on the violent lynching of black men amid racial prejudice, slamming the society that let these horrors happen; Wells-Barnett details cases like the torture of Samuel Hose, and the hanging of Elijah Strickland, a preacher wrongly accused of murder. Her writing shows how mobs used twisted logic to justify violence, driven by the complicity of local media and leaders stirring up anti-black hatred. It's a strong demand for responsibility and fairness, challenging widespread racism as victims are unjustly murdered without a fair trial. **
