Today, many of you said you wanted to learn more about lynchings in the United States. A lynching is the illegal killing of a person by a mob (a large crowd of people). Often, the victim did nothing wrong. And often, the victim is a member of a racial or ethnic group that the large crowd dislikes.
We will be learning more about lynching in class during the next few weeks, but if you want to explore on your own, check out this Web site. Please ask your parents to look at this Web site with you to help you understand better.
