Woodlin of the 8 USCT Colored troops. The diary is recorded during 1862 and 1863. I have recorded and uploaded it to the internet I do hope you enjoy.

Lynching









For a while now I have been Facsnated with the tale of lynching in this country.The tale of lynching includes all races in this country. But it is more than obvious that black people where the overwhelming victims of this shameful american pasttime. This is a very rich and exciting real life story. This story features thousands, perhaps millioins of ridiulous incidents. Things such as W. E.B Dubois finding a black mans severed Knucles at a downtown atlanta department store, or James Weldon Johnson almost bieng lynched by the Florida National gaurd for escorty an african american lady who looked white in public, or the spectacle lynching of Jesse Washington, or the lynching of Marry Turner.


I plan on following up my podcast and presentations with podcast of those who are experts in the social sciences and histories of past times in america. The excuse/justification for lynching was usually rape of white women by black men. But a careful study of the recorod reveals the real reason for this discaple behavior was simply southern societies refusal to accept black people as human biengs or treat them as human biengs.

It is only posible to treat humans the way white southern society(america to be truthful) treated black people after you have convinced them and yourself that they are inferior.

I plan to follow up this post extensively with other post about lynching in more specific details. My aim is to demonstrate that the Federal goverments and State Goverment allowed and even assisted a system they knew violated American Laws that ensure freedom and protection for all citizens. It is my objective to use material that is well verified and acceptable my all credible historians and socials scientist which will prove that the federal and state goverment knew that present was responsible for

1) Murders of thousands of black people
2) Attrocities committed against black people
3) Policies instituded that cause the black population great pain and harm
4) Taxation without representation

This video cast by Goode Davis is example the type of material I will be posting, redording and linking to. I hope you find this podcast interesting. Mark Bey
