Project Details
This fully-bilingual (English-Spanish) exhibit specifically focuses on people of color murdered by lynching under a pretext of white supremacy. The website contains a historical narrative overview, an interactive timeline, and a map linked to a bibliography of over 60 scholarly sources. Unlike most academic studies, the project does not compartmentalize by region (such as only in the South). Rather, it connects scholarship about African Americans, Native Peoples, Mexicans, Sicilians, and Chinese immigrants together across the entire United States.
