56. She was mocking a hanging lynched black man, and she's probably still alive
The name of the book was "NO SANCTUARY"; I've got it at home and don't remember the author's name, but it is a book about lynching photography. Many of the photographs are as recent as the early late 30's. In one picture, it showed a hanging black man with a group of school girls around him, one of them smiling up at him with her hands crossed at the wrist in an imitation of the man who had his hands bound. The pictures of the victims were horrendous enough, but what really horrified me, was the faces of the white mobs. No remorse. Even a festive atmosphere as children were hoisted on the shoulders of parents to watch the spectacle. Some were burned beyond recognition while a photo was taken and sent to a friend with a caption, "here is a picture of the barbeque I went to last weekend." Some of these peope, like those little girls surrounding that hanged victim might even be alive now. They looked liked they were maybe 9 or 10 years old. They probably poisoned their own children with their hate. And as I stated in an earlier posting, the Neo-Nazis at Stormfront.org have a tea party link on the top left side of their web page that informs them of times and dates of tea parties. It's members also talk about their successes at recruiting and handing out their material, although they also talk about being turned away by organizers fearful of being painted as "racist"!
