I DID NOT KNOW THIS 🤔🤔🤔🤔

She was seventeen years old. A mob of about a dozen men took her out of a jail cell and hanged her in the street. Marie Scott. Wagoner, Oklahoma, 1914.

Accounts of what happened are consistent on the core: a white man had forced his way into her home and attacked her, and her brother killed him defending her. Her brother escaped.

So they took the girl instead. She is one of the very few documented lynching of a Black woman in Oklahoma, and one of the youngest women in the national record.
Seventeen. Held in a cell, taken from a cell, and killed for surviving an assault that her attacker did not survive.

Nobody was charged. Say her name — most people have never heard it once.

Marie Scott was seventeen. Her story is one of up to 150 cases documented in our book.

Most people have never heard her name. That’s exactly why we documented it. Get yours https://t.co/V6OJtazidd

Tulsa was not the only anti-Black massacre in American history. From New Orleans and Colfax to Wilmington, Elaine, Rosewood, Ocoee, and many others, racial violence devastated Black communities across the United States, destroying lives, homes, businesses, and generations of progress. While this map is not exhaustive, it serves as a reminder that these events were part of a broader history that deserves to be remembered, studied, and discussed rather than forgotten.

His body was pulled from a Mississippi river wrapped in wire and weighted down. The coroner's first ruling was SU!C!DE.

Rev. T.A. Allen. 1935. His offense was organizing sharecroppers into a union.

He was a Black minister in DeSoto County who had begun signing up cotton sharecroppers — men and women working land they did not own, for shares nobody ever calculated honestly — into a union that could bargain.

He was warned. He kept going.

They found him in the Coldwater River, shot, bound, and weighted.

The official finding was that he had done it to himself. There was no serious investigation and no charges. Union organizing in that county collapsed.

Sit with the coroner's ruling, because it is its own kind of contempt: a man is shot, bound in wire, weighted, and put in a river — and the official record of the state of Mississippi says he arranged all of that personally.

They did not even bother making it plausible. That was the message. The paperwork was never meant to convince anyone. It was meant to demonstrate that nothing could be done.

He was killed for asking that people be paid correctly. Add him to the list of names that never made a textbook.
