A Double Take on Lynching

Historian Susan Strasser and Poet Marcia Cole present an online illustrated lecture and poetry program on lynching on Thursday, March 3, 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. The Jim Crow system of segregated facilities and state-sanctioned repression was held in place by terror, including thousands of lynchings. Susan Strasser’s presentation, offering about sixty images, some quite disturbing, presents stark evidence of that history and serves as a memorial to those who were murdered and tortured. Marcia Cole will follow, reading her original poetry. For details, click here, and  register here.
