Week 6

The real question of this week is why was a lynching an activity during the “Great Migration”? The other question is why was it put on postcards? I don’t understand the thought process behind such ridiculous ideas that people come up with. Honestly, I would not want to receive a postcard that has a picture of someone being lynched nor do I approve of what they did to the African American population during this time period. We also took a look at “race” records, how they appeared in the 1920’s. They were advertised to white people and African Americans. It is hard for me to understand how people bought these records as well as attended lynching events because in my mind, it is really awful and all around racist. I would never buy a “race” record, let alone attend a lynching event. It is absolutely disgusting that people used to do this as a regular thing.
