General Lee, a Black man, was lynched by a white mob in 1904 for merely knocking on the door of a white woman’s house in Reevesville, South Carolina.
Equal Justice Initiative

In Omaha, Nebraska, in October 1891, thousands of white people gathered to seize George Smith, a Black man, from the local jail after he was accused of assault. Though he had an alibi and most reports of the alleged crime were false, the mob beat Mr. Smith, dragged him through the streets with a rope around his neck, and then hanged him from telephone wires in front of a local opera house. Despite the severe physical injuries inflicted, the coroner concluded that Mr. Smith had died of “fright.” As a result, seven white men, including the local police captain, who were arrested for coordinating the lynching were never prosecuted. Murder ordained by government inaction, another lynching of a black man goes unacknowledged and unpunished by a nation whose constitution supposedly guaranteed George Smith equal protection under the laws except the laws of white mob rule.

Who Remembers Horace Carter or Fred Coker? Who Remembers Their Story, Their Final Torturous Moments Of Life? And Pays America?
In April 1906, two Black men named Horace Duncan and Fred Coker were accused of rape in Springfield, Missouri. Though both men had alibis confirmed by their employer, a mob refused to wait for a trial. Instead, the mob seized both men from jail, hanged them from Gottfried Tower near the town square, and burned and shot their corpses while a crowd of 5000 white men, women, and children watched. Newspapers later reported that both men were innocent of the rape allegations. These men were murdered because of the color of their skins and white Americans racial murderous hatred.
