How many more lynchings happened there we will most likely never know

I have no idea why a group of people could hate a total stranger they know nothing of and for no apparent reason other than he or she belongs to a different race.

I was reading through the old newspapers and an article said that a wagonload of 7 more prisoners arrived in town during the riot and was stopped in time to avoid adding 7 more victims to the mob

Wow. I had seen that picture for years and never knew the back story. I am from Ohio but went to school in Wisconsin and frequented Minnesota. Back then, I had always thought that those types of atrocities only happened in the South. Thank you for this eye-opening presentation.

Duluth is still racist. I wouldn't live there that's for sure.

Disgusting so they just assume like now that these men done it so so sad my people crying from the grave 😢

In these types of cases, I would be more for revenge, and not so much of "forgiveness"

It's sad we do this to each other now in diff ways we didn't stick together and rise up then or now they killed us they still kill us and we kill us smh

Lynching = Denial = SHAME why these people are ashamed for their actions. Because they know that their actions are shameful even though they were "justified" in their acts to save their "supremacy" all I see in these acts of violence is fear and weakness so you enforce your insecurities with extreme violence

Reparations is the answer its the first step to a healing process reparations shows a sense of remorse!

What stands out to me is how long it took and how much convincing it took to simply recognize innocent men were murdered publicly. What does that say about the mindset of the majority (not all) of this people? Makes wonder if what Black Israelite group are teaching is accurate in that the Caucasian people (not all) have ancestry stemming from Biblical Esau/Edom. His youthful and adult characteristics and attributes are undeniably present in many Caucasian people. And the prophecies written are equally visible in what we consider our world history. Although, many believe the Bible to be fictional and incomplete and can easily be used to manipulate people to create cults etc. I’ve found solace in its reasoning. Trying to understand why Caucasian racist as majority have gone to such great length to systematically oppress a whole race of people simply based on skin color boggles the mind of Black people as a whole. Especially when you consider that they themselves would want to be judged on their own merit, versus what their ancestors or even neighbors have done. This makes since, and I really wish that such an empathetic thought process was more prevalent amongst all people. This is my opinion in light of my knowledge and experience. I mean to take nothing away from the countless efforts put forth by those called “allies,” to Black people. Thank you for caring.

Now, people are swirling like crazy. 🤮

Very smart of you PBS to show Duluth as a dark place with dark clouds all the time. But of course, public hangings by mobs should always have been illegal.

It's terrible that this nor the other racial injustices that occurred in Duluth was never taught in our Duluth History portion of history class in Jr. High (early 80s). I was born and raised there and only learned of these things in the last year.

They weren’t hung. They were choked to death.

It takes a special species to prevail over such atrocities for so long. We continue to love regardless. BLM then ALM Peace.

Ms. Hidi the lady that wants to take the corner back. I love her ambition

America was founded on racist ideology from the very beginning. Nothing has changed really to this day. Racism is still alive and well here in America.

One thing that i never understood is why if you fight for this country ww1 ww2 Vietnam, civil war has a black citizen, they were born and raised in the US, so why some people think they are better humans, and how in the world can they kill someone just for the color of the skin. 🤦

And Minnesota is in the north

Sad

Thank God That Was Back Then. But Still, Spiritual Flashbacks Hurt. We've Never Really Healed From That. But Just To Let Y'all Know, The Folks Who Did The Wicked Like That," They Had To Sleep At Night. Karma Is Deep. Some of You Already Know. Indeed

Could we agree that this injustice still happens today? Black men could be accused or suspected of any crime and the system will work from the guilty until proven innocent direction, i.e., The Central Park 5, George Floyd, Travon Martin...and countless others. If we dont learn our history, we are doomed to repeat it.

"Race is not biological. It is a social construct. There is no gene or cluster of genes common to all blacks or all whites. Were race “real” in the genetic sense, racial classifications for individuals would remain constant across boundaries. Yet, a person who could be categorized as black in the United States might be considered white in Brazil or colored in South Africa. Unlike race and racial identity, the social, political and economic meanings of race, or rather belonging to particular racial groups, have not been fluid. Like race, racial identity can be fluid. How one perceives her racial identity can shift with experience and time, and not simply for those who are multiracial. These shifts in racial identity can end in categories that our society, which insists on the rigidity of race, has not even yet defined. " -Angela Onwuachi-Willig, a professor of law at the University of Iowa College of Law, is the author of "According to Our Hearts: Rhinelander v. Rhinelander and the Law of the Multiracial Family."

Lynchings occured until the 60s in the south. The same with mobile execution

The world is a dark place. Don't let hatred win

This answered a question I've had about the families of lynch mob participants. I've always wondered how they felt if they knew about their relatives' participation. In this case, he was ashamed and expressed that he'd raise his children so they'd be tolerant. That's a good thing. Lynching always makes me angry and sad. The hate, fear, and anger expressed by those white people and their belief that they had the right to commit murder against Black people is frightening. This was not the first nor the last lynching committed against innocent Black men. I appreciate that this community came together to honor those men who lost their lives due to hate.

Peek a boo the same thing happening today in America except they have a new name for it lol

You cannot bring back the dead! Reparations is the way!

Calling themselves the good people of this country

😔🤮

Facing your past, free's you for your future. God said all have sin. But to confess your sin is the first step to freeing your spirit. The first documented confession was that of Cain and Abe. The soul lives forever. Some are raised to eternal life, and others are raised to everlasting torment. Life is hard and some decisions are made in a fraction of a second. Yet the consequences of the action will be felt forever. I think of Lazarus and the rich man. For a fraction of time to enjoy the moments of joy yet to lose it because of selfishness and hate and a distain for others only because it comforts your ego. Just to say I'm better than or to promote the supremacy of a group is beyond imagination. You're not a group but a person. In no way can you carry the burdens of another. It's hard just caring your own load and actions. I'll never understand why knowing truth people rather live a lie! I'm only responsible for self. My wrong does't help others. Only my good can inspire others to find the struggle to do unto others as I'd like others to do unto me.

Reparations NOW

Good times

( YAHAWAH - BAHASHAM ) ✝️
