Dedication to Modern Day Lynching Victims:
Modern Day Lynchings: Today we are going to discuss lynching. Lynching is a topic that is challenging to talk about. The death of Black people who did not have the ability to have equal protection of the law, which the fourteenth amendment guaranteed. Lynching is a depressing topic when it pertains to Black History. Past and present, lynching is still important to learn about because it is still happening. It will be difficult to discuss some of these lynchings, but we must learn about them. Not to desensitize us of the violence of Black people, but to help others understand where the tradition of lynching comes from and to put an end to it. I understand if some do not want to hear about this considering the horrible things that lynched Black men, women and children had done to them, it is disturbing. You will hear a few stories about Black lynchings; some that you may have heard of due to the media getting involved in the story and some that you do not know about. Age has nothing
