#MaryTurner, a young Black woman eight months pregnant, publically denounced the #lynching of her husband #HazelTurner, one of 13 killed in the #May1918Lynchings. For this she was #lynched herself, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1918. We had to wait until 2018 for an anti-lynching law.
Decades after Juneteenth and a civil war that claimed over 600,000 lives, the terror waged against our African-American brothers and sisters wasn't over.
