The Horrors of Lynching: Photographs and Postcards.
Note to readers: This post contains graphic and disturbing images.
During the late 19th and early 20th century, thousands of photographs and postcards of Black Americans killed by white mobs in racist terror lynchings were collected, traded and sent through the U.S. postal service.
The postcards and photographs, depicting gruesome images of the bodies of Black men, women and children who had been tied to trees, mutilated, tortured, shot and burned alive by white mobs, were often distributed as souvenirs and saved as mementos in family albums and stored away in attics for safekeeping.
The lynching photographs often captured the bodies of the murdered Black Americans and the hundreds of white people — including children — who gathered to witness the public spectacle of lynchings. According to historians, in more than half of these photos and postcards, white people were shown smiling and celebrating the spectacles.
WHITE PEOPLE MONETIZED THE MURDER OF BLACK PEOPLE
Lynching photographs and postcards were shrewdly distributed — often for profit — across communities by hand and through the U.S. mail. They were often sold for as little as a quarter, which would be worth about $3.46 today.

Our Ancestors were master farmers, biologist, agriculturalist, herbalist, and botanist. We have to reclaim all that! We have to be in charge of our own health buy growing our own foods free from GMO's and bio-engineering. With the rapid climate changes, we have to take it a step further and think into the future by taking growing indoors as crops as being ruined by extreme heat and extreme cold. We also want to inspire a new generation of young Black Farmers who can continue to think outside the box and uplift and elevate the science of food on new levels. We want to be a destination farm, you want to bring your children to.
Thank you for reading our message! Thank you for sharing our Vision! Who will change OUR future, if we don't change it?
SOS = Saving Our Selves!
Thank you Dr. Claude Anderson and those ancestors before him who have been leading us and guiding us to independence.
