Book excerpt: After the Civil War, lynching in the American South was a spread occurrence. The authorities tolerated this practice, and there were no formal records for those cases. In the chase for "justice," an angry mob could often punish innocent people, and the blacks were the most frequent victims. The Red Record by Ida B. Wells-Barnett prepared an objective survey of those times with the statistics of lynching scenes and events that preceded and followed the killings. This book aimed to spark change.

Book excerpt: In the post-civil war American south, the despicable act of lynching was commonplace and considered to be a form of vigilantism that was used to murder African Americans for alleged “crimes” ranging from acting suspiciously to “insulting whites”. In “The Red Record”, Ida Bell Wells-Barnett records statistics concerning instances of lynching and offers vivid descriptions of the extrajudicial killings in an attempt to galvanise the public into action and put an end to such horrifying practices. Ida Bell Wells-Barnett (1862–1931) was an American educator, investigative journalist, and leading figure of the civil rights movement. Having been born into slavery in Holly Springs, Mississippi, Wells was freed in 1862 during the American Civil War by the Emancipation Proclamation. From then on she dedicated her life as a free woman to fighting prejudice and violence, founding the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and becoming the most famous African American of her time. Contents include: “The Case Stated”, “Lynch-Law Statistics”, “Lynching Imbeciles (An Arkansas Butchery)”, “Lynching of Innocent Men (Lynched on Account of Relationship)”, “Lynched for Anything or Nothing (Lynched for Wife Beating)”, “History of Some Cases of Rape”, “The Crusade Justified (Appeal from America to the World)”, “Miss Willard's Attitude”, “Lynching Record for 1894”, and “The Remedy”.

Book excerpt: Ida B. Wells exposes a series of racially-motivated acts that disproportionately affect African Americans and is overwhelmingly ignored by a majority white criminal justice system. It’s crucial documentation of a brutal practice that tormented a community. In the late nineteenth century, Ida B. Wells was a thriving journalist and civil rights activist. She used her writing and skills as an investigative reporter to reveal the horrifying reality that many African Americans experienced. The Red Record: Tabulated Statistics and Alleged Causes of Lynching in the United States, is an explosive report on how mob violence and white supremacy had become the de facto law of the land. It created a culture of cruelty and anti-blackness that promoted public attacks, including lynchings. Ida B. Wells’ work helped to initiate conversations about racism, policy and policing. Shortly after the release of The Red Record: Tabulated Statistics and Alleged Causes of Lynching in the United States, the first anti-lynching bill was introduced into Congress. Wells’ efforts were critical for African Americans seeking justice in a historically racist system. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Red Record: Tabulated Statistics and Alleged Causes of Lynching in the United States is both modern and readable.

Book excerpt: The Red Record Tabulated Statistics and Alleged Causes of Lynching in the United States by Ida B. Wells-Barnett The student of American sociology will find the year 1894 marked by a pronounced awakening of the public conscience to a system of anarchy and outlawry which had grown during a series of ten years to be so common, that scenes of unusual brutality failed to have any visible effect upon the humane sentiments of the people of our land. Beginning with the emancipation of the Negro, the inevitable result of unbribled power exercised for two and a half centuries, by the white man over the Negro, began to show itself in acts of conscienceless outlawry. During the slave regime, the Southern white man owned the Negro body and soul. It was to his interest to dwarf the soul and preserve the body. Vested with unlimited power over his slave, to subject him to any and all kinds of physical punishment, the white man was still restrained from such punishment as tended to injure the slave by abating his physical powers and thereby reducing his financial worth. While slaves were scourged mercilessly, and in countless cases inhumanly treated in other respects, still the white owner rarely permitted his anger to go so far as to take a life, which would entail upon him a loss of several hundred dollars. The slave was rarely killed, he was too valuable; it was easier and quite as effective, for discipline or revenge, to sell him "Down South." But Emancipation came and the vested interests of the white man in the Negro's body were lost. The white man had no right to scourge the emancipated Negro, still less has he a right to kill him. But the Southern white people had been educated so long in that school of practice, in which might makes right, that they disdained to draw strict lines of action in dealing with the Negro. In slave times the Negro was kept subservient and submissive by the frequency and severity of the scourging, but, with freedom, a new system of intimidation came into vogue; the Negro was not only whipped and scourged; he was killed.

Book excerpt: In the postbellum American South, lynching was a frightfully common occurrence, perpetrated so frequently that most Southern politicians and leaders turned a blind eye to the practice. This vicious form of vigilante "justice" was in truth a thinly veiled racist justification for murderous violence. In 1892 alone, more than two hundred African Americans were lynched, with alleged offenses ranging from "attempted stock poisoning" to "insulting whites." The Red Record tabulates these scenes of brutality in clear, objective statistics, allowing the horrifying facts to speak for themselves. Alongside the tally, author Ida B. Wells describes actual occurrences of lynching, and enumerates the standard rationalizations for these extrajudicial killings, her original intent for the pamphlet to shame and shock the apathetic public-and spark change

Book Synopsis History of Some Cases of Rape by : Ida B. Wells-Barnett
Download or read book History of Some Cases of Rape written by Ida B. Wells-Barnett and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Red Record: Tabulated Statistics and Alleged Causes of Lynching in the United States, the 100-page pamphlet released in 1895 from which this essay is excerpted, was a follow-up to Wells-Barnett's groundbreaking 1892 text, Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases. Both publications detail false rape allegations by white women and men used to justify lynchings, in fact undertaken to forestall black economic progress. Wells-Barnett's work is often interpreted as an indictment of white male protectionism; however, History of Some Cases of Rape, from chapter six of The Red Record, is a straightforward portrayal of white women's complicity in the murder of black men. Indeed, Wells-Barnett goes far beyond depicting white women crying rape before running away: here, in fact, they are shown to commit acts of violence themselves.

Book excerpt: An important historical work, "The Red Record" is also a horrifying account of African American lynchings after the Civil War. Black Americans lost their lives for such offenses as offending a white person in some way, proposing marriage to a white woman, providing information to someone who asked, introducing smallpox, "conjuring," and/or writing a letter to a white woman. In some cases, committing no offense at all (other than being Black) was also enough to "trigger" a lynching. The pre-lynching tortures described in this book are nothing short of stomach-turning. Worst of all, lynchings were a sort of town-wide, social event that even children attended. Many of them were carried out prior to inquiries as to who actually committed the crime, and whether the crime had actually been committed in the first place. After several incidents of lynching prior to judgement in which the person had been found entirely innocent, town officials would exclaim something like, "Someone had to pay for the crime." In "The Red Record," Ida Wells-Barnett provided a grim account of the multiple historic failures of justice in the United States. Although her goal was to prevent more of these travesties by educating the public about them, the practice of lynching continued into the 20th century.
