Some students are not familair with the American past of lynching. While it is graphically described in James Baldwin's short story "Going to Meet the Man," it may be useful - although disturbing - to see what these lynchings looked like to those who attended and for the victims.
This being America - and everythingh being a commercial enterprise - some entrpreneurs made photo postcards of the lynchings and sold them as souvenirs.
