Neil:
I am very familiar with the the incident. Any report of thousands of dead is pure speculation and not supported by the facts. Regardless, you are correct, it was a travesty. This latest accounting was generated by a hyped up social media campaign much like the original riot was caused by a trumped up newspaper article that was not supported by any factual evidence. Unfortunately this cycle continues today. Marty |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Marty.. and when we read history it is important to get all the facts… from various articles I have read (over the years) the death toll may actually have been in the thousands with many bodies just dumped in the river. It started when a black young man was accused of molesting a young lady in an elevator (she later recanted and said it never happened)… a crowd of whites went to the jail in an attempt to lynch him and then a group of black men went down to try and protect him. As to who fired the shot.. appears that has never been positively ascertained but most now know of the travesty that followed. |
