The South is brutalized to a degree not realized by its own inhabitants, and the very foundation of government, law and order, are imperilled.

The people must know before they can act, and there is no educator to compare with the press.

The South resented giving the Afro-American his freedom, the ballot box and the Civil Rights Law.

The mob spirit has grown with the increasing intelligence of the Afro-American.

The nineteenth century lynching mob cuts off ears, toes, and fingers, strips off flesh, and distributes portions of the body as souvenirs among the crowd.

The appetite grows for what it feeds on.

I am only a mouthpiece through which to tell the story of lynching and I have told it so often that I know it by heart. I do not have to embellish; it makes its own way.
