Définition

  • During the late 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, lynching or mob violence was a powerful tool that was used by commonplace citizens to enforce the social aspects of Jim Crow and to terrorize African American communities. In this sense, the victims of lynching were mostly black men. [Source: Encyclopedia of Activism and Social Justice; Anti-Lynching Movement]
