Without Sanctuary: Lynching Photography in America's Homes & Attics


A vid from BBC's Documentary tells the story of a boy who was lynched and burned alive in Texas in 1916!


"Without Sanctuary is a photo document of proof, an uncartiring of crimes, of collective mass murder, of mass memory graves excavated from the American conscience. Part postal cards, common as dirt, souvenirs skin-thin and fresh-tatooed proud, the trade cards of those assisting at ritual racial killings and others acts of mad citizenry. The communities' best citizens lurking just outside the frame. Destined to decay, these few survivors of an original photo population of many thousands, turn the living to pillars of salt", said James Allen.
