The First Waco Horror : The Lynching of Jesse Washington and the Rise of the NAACP Paperback / softback
by Patricia Bernstein
Part of the Centennial Series of the Association of Former Students series
Paperback / softback
Description
In 1916, seventeen-year-old Jesse Washington, a retarded black boy, was publicly tortured, lynched, and burned on the town square of Waco, Texas.
Drawing on extensive research in the national files of the NAACP, local newspapers and archives, and interviews with the descendants of participants in the events of that day, Patricia Bernstein has reconstructed the details of not only the crime but also how it influenced the NAACP's antilynching campaign.
