January 23—Richard Stanley, colored, rape, Fulbright, Tex.
The Laurens Advertiser (Laurens, S. C.) dated January 25, 1888 had this to say:
Just think of it, 122 people lynched in this county last year.
This blog started as an attempt to find a lynching for every day of the year. It is a grim part of United States history that I fear too many find easy to shrug away. After two years, I am now focusing on finding more information on the lynchings I have covered as well as posting about lynchings I have not, regardless of excuse given for the lynching.
