This article was one that I found very thought provoking. Our author was able to take an in-depth look into lynchings and create visualizations from data to different frequencies at which it occurred. It was very upsetting to learn that there was no official information collected on lynchings until people like Ida B. Wells and those of the Tuskegee institute worked on anti-lynching movements. This made me realize that though the visualization and information is useful, it is not complete. We cannot fully know how many lynches actually happened per week or how many lynching victims there actually were per county because there was never and initial data collection origin. I love how the author was able to connect this to today and the extrajudicial killings done by police. He is able to connect that there is no official collection of those deaths but if studied we would not see any new trends because there is not \u201ca radical rise in the rate at which black men and women are killed by police, but only an increased prominence of their position in the public discourse.\u201d Black bodies being punished for their race is not new, it is a trend that has always been carried out by the law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
