Without Sanctuary: Lynching Photography in America (Hardcover)
\'Many people today, despite the evidence, will not believe--don\'t want to believe--that such atrocities happened in America not so very long ago. These photographs bear witness to . . . an American holocaust.\' -John Lewis, US Congressman The Tuskegee Institute records the lynching of 3,436 Black Americans between 1882 and 1950. Many times, a photographer was present to capture these events. Without Sanctuary preserves these harrowing, death-marked depictions, saving them so that we may recognize the terrorism unleashed on America\'s African American community.
