Description
Without Sanctuary: Lynching Photography in America A harrowing collection of photographs that bear witness to an American holocaust. This book preserves nearly 100 images of lynchings in America, taken by a photographer present at the scene, and accompanied by notes from historian Leon Litwack and civil rights leader John Lewis. These images, including cases such as the 1911 murders of Laura and Lawrence Nelson in Okemah, Oklahoma, and the infamous 1915 execution of Jewish factory manager Leo Frank in Marietta, Georgia, are a testament to the camera's ability to make us remember what we often choose to forget. Edited by James Allen, an American antique collector with a vast collection of photographs of lynchings in America, now in its 17th printing. The book includes texts from notable figures such as Leon Litwack and John Lewis, providing context and perspective on these disturbing images.
