They sold post cards locally with pictures of it.
Revulsion is what I feel about that.
Just shocking.
Which decade was this post card printed in the USA?
From my research these hideous post cards were in circulation for at least 50 years.
The United States Postal Service banned them in 1908.
But....White Supremicists still distributed them.
Course they did. Arseholes that they are.
Earlier in the 20th Century, apparently some towns censored lynching photographs.
But nationwide censorship definately came in 1908.
It doesn't seem to have entirely eradicated the post cards back then.
But the 'inciting racial hatred' text that often accompanied them got effectively banned it seems.
But what racists did was...distribute the Post Cards anyway, by concealing them in envelopes.
I guess you can date the offensive post cards from history...as terror lynchings seem to have been at their worst in the U.S from the 1880's to the 1940's.
But definately continued into 1970's. As everyone knows.
What shocks me about these Lynching Postcards.
Is they often depicted smiling bystanding in the pic.
It's just horrifying. The more you learn.
What people did. And what peoole tolerated.
I remember watching a Maya Angelou interview on you tube. Shes the famous black American author.
She said, when the local KKK rolled into her small town with their trucks.
Her and another family member had to hide her brother immediately in potato and onion bin, behind the counter of their shop.
And cover him with potatoes.
And he had to stay there all night.
So he wouldn't be found and randomly murdered by the KKK.
Maya Angelou's famous autobiography, called I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings is one of my favourite books.
I recommend it highly.
It interests me too, that Old Hollywood Star, Ava Gardiner grew up in the South surrounded by all this going on. Apparently she used to talk about it at times. She was against racism.
And she definately saw the extreme version of it.
Maybe that's what she had in common with American singer, Frank Sinatra, who she married.
He was very vocal against racism. Particularly at a time in the 1940's.
In 1945 he made a short movie / documentary about Racism.
Called, The House I Live In.
There was a Broadway song that accompanied it.
He did the movie partly.... To address anti semitism.
For the Post WW2 period.
I will check out the app. : )
