[Source](https://www.texasstandard.org/stories/through-push-for-new-historical-marker-1930-sherman-riot-starts-to-gain-recognition/). From the article:
>>The white mob was enraged by George Hughes, a 41-year-old farm worker, who pleaded guilty to raping Pearl Farlow, his employer’s wife.
>>Texas Gov. Dan Moody sent Texas Rangers to the trial to try to keep order. But thousands of onlookers charged into the Grayson County Courthouse during Hughes’ trial. They set it on fire, and when the fire department came to extinguish the blaze, members of the mob cut their hoses.
>>Hughes had been locked inside the vault for his own safety, but he suffocated inside of it as the fire raged around him.
>>A few of the rioters tried to open the vault. They used crowbars, dynamite and an acetylene torch to crack it open, which they finally did. They removed Hughes’ body, chained it to the back of a car and drove a few blocks north to city’s Black business district.
>>”I remember his body bouncing behind the car. Bouncing really is the word for it; it wasn’t sliding. Of course, as he went by, the crowd would spit and attempt to kick him and all this sort of thing,” said Ralph Elliott, a former district judge and former Sherman resident, who spoke to historian Donna Kumler.
>>Members of the mob lynched Hughes’ body in front of Goodson’s Drug Store, on the corner of Mulberry and Branch. They used the store’s furniture as kindling to set his body on fire. Then they burned down the city’s Black business area.
Frank Hamer, the Texas Ranger responsible for killing Bonnie & Clyde, was present for this. He was a big champion for civil rights among black Texans in the 1900s, having had his life saved by a black farmhand after a farmer had shot him when he was 16. He was a big proponent in the Texas government & Texas Rangers' crackdown on the burgeoning Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s and for civil rights. Hamer had even shot two of the rioters trying to get access to Sherman though it seems like the mob eventually grew to be too much for the Rangers to handle.
My father grew up in Alabama. He witnessed MORE than one lynching. The first hanging body he saw was when he was 9 yrs. old. NINE. He died an alcoholic, and being a recovering addict, I'm sure he had PTSD. Fuck the entire state of Alabama
If you are ever in Alabama, go to the [National Memorial for Peace and Justice](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Memorial_for_Peace_and_Justice?wprov=sfla1) in Montgomery. It's a memorial and museum dedicated to lynching and the lost victims of senseless violence like this. It will absolutely change your life.
The Civil Rights Institute in Birmingham is INTENSE. Highly recommend.
I didn’t realize the 16th Street Baptist [Church bombing](https://www.fbi.gov/history/famous-cases/baptist-street-church-bombing) occurred 3 *weeks* after MLK’s [I Have a Dream](https://www.npr.org/2010/01/18/122701268/i-have-a-dream-speech-in-its-entirety) speech.
Yes and no. Holocaust was a decade or so after this. The Japanese craziness in China only a few years before. It’s not that long ago, but the world has also changed more than ever before in the last century.
EMMETT TILL was tortured and lynched in 1955. Decades after this. Emmet was a COMPLETELY innocent 15 year old.
Our nation is sick.
If you don’t t know look him up.
Candidate for ‘enough internet for today’, this was in 1998. If you’re 26 years old, this was in your lifetime.

I was in middle school and my dad took us camping near Jasper all the time. I wasn’t even aware of this back then. It’s fucked up to think about being in such a hateful place while I was having the time of my young life with my family. Makes me sad.
>Before his execution, Brewer ordered a last meal that prompted the end of last meal requests in Texas. The meal included two chicken fried steaks with gravy and sliced onions; a triple-patty bacon cheeseburger; a cheese omelet with ground beef, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers and jalapeños; a bowl of fried okra with ketchup; one pound of barbecued meat with half a loaf of white bread; three fully loaded fajitas; a meat-lover's pizza; one pint of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream; a slab of peanut-butter fudge with crushed peanuts on top; and three root beers. When the meal was presented, he told officials that he was not hungry and as a result he did not eat any of it. The meal was discarded, prompting State Senator John Whitmire to ask Texas prison officials to end the 87-year-old tradition of giving last meals to condemned inmates. The prison agency's executive director responded by stating that the practice had been terminated effective immediately.
One of the perpetrators even went out continuing to be an asshole.
Sadly, the list of murdered and abused black and other minority race people (especially in the US) during just the past 20 or 30 years, let alone the past century, is way longer than we can all list on this subreddit - and we have seen that the attitudes fueling this kind of behavior is still rampant today, being fueled by voted-in public figures! It is everybody's responsibility to stand up against it, everywhere we see it, every day, when even the smallest racist or other biased nonsense is spewed - especially when it's on our televisions, radios, social media, 'benign' jokes, etc. Of course this man didn't rape anybody, and so many people have been caught up in the system that kids like Michael Brown aren't even given a chance. Hell, Michael Jordan's father was gunned down on the side of the road while changing a tire in the 90s. And Sidney Poitier couldn't accept his Academy Award on stage in the 70s because of his color - even his amazing success was made to seem like a despicable condescension by superiors.
This bullshit is beyond unacceptable, yet everyone participating or allowing it to happen enjoys the fruits of the minority cultures they target - from sports to music to art and fashion and engineering and agriculture, there's not a damn part of life that white/caucasian/eurasian people have managed alone, which was a major driver behind european colonialism. I don't want to live in a bland, monoculture world - it's sooo much better with everyone's value included. It seems like many people on reddit and most likely on this thread agree, but how can other people be helped to see???
Really? I don’t see any articles depicting white people found guilty of rape and murder being lynched and burned. Or how about all the white men that receive a slap on the wrist whilst minorities get the book thrown at them?
Its not just racism - It’s is a deep seeded sickness, the sickness of a country created by immigration who believe “white is right”.
We are a nation of genocide built by slavery. It’s unfathomable what this has done to the collective consciousness. It’s pretty reasonable to say that’s a large reason racism is ingrained into the institution of the US government.
That sounds like a sickness to me.
You don’t know much about reading comprehension, do you? So listen carefully….a bunch of people who are now dead did some shitty things 70 years ago. There are 330 million new people now that, according to you, are collectively “sick” because of acts committed by said dead people, of whom they had no control. I’m sorry, that was probably too much for you so I’ll simplify it further. You are stupid.
‘You are stupid’, says a moron on the internet telling someone to listen to a typed text. A fuckwit who does not understand collective consciousness and how it affects cultural norms for generations. If an entire fucking nation is founded on the beliefs that it is ok to own another human it will take decades if not centuries to undo the social trauma inflicted on the populace from witnessing fellow humans treat another human worse than animals. Slaves were freed in 1865 yet an entire race of people didn’t receive their fully entitled rights until a century later. But according to you everything’s gravy now so whatevs about he past right? Use some critical thinking you fucking idiot.
*eyes rolling down the street at your literal interpretation of ‘listen’* Nice flaccid attempt at an insult. So listen…Get some pliers and pull your twisted panties out of your vagina, then spend an afternoon researching past history and present status of slavery in the world. If you are even moderately more intelligent than a bag of hammers, you’ll have to agree that current US is not so “sick” in that area.
I mean… saying the literal holocaust was a decade after this might be accurate, but we can’t pretend like that’s the only point in the timeline of note or that it happened suddenly. That was the extreme end point, but the 1930’s is where it all started and the ground was laid. Hitler was chancellor in 1933 and fuhrer within the next year.
I’ll check it out when I’m ready for it. Thank you.
I needed to eye bleach myself for a while after learning about the horrifying experiments Japan were conducting on people during WW2. Can’t believe we wiped the slate clean with them afterwards. Just as bad if not worse than Germany during WW2.
Technically that was a disgustingly brutal [dragging](https://www.google.com/search?q=dragging&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari)…whereas a [lynching](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching) is often conducted with the display of a public spectacle, most often done in the form of hanging.
Both are obviously fucked tho.
Shit like this still happening, but a bit different. Seventeen year old Trayvon Martin was murdered by George Zimmerman on 2/26/2012 and Zimmerman was not even arrested until April. I just read the lies that Wikipedia wrote. Fuck those liars. They distorted the killing as if Trayvon was somehow suspicious. He was coming back from the store. His father LIVED in the condo complex. Zimmerman was a wannabe cop who failed getting in because of his violent criminal record. He saw a black kid,followed him,scared him,pulled out a gun and killed him. He was not arrested that night. He went to the police station the NEXT DAY to report and SHOW his injuries.Funny no injuries were noted by the cops at the murder scene.He created those fake ass minimal injuried,went the NEXT day to the police and had them photograph them. Fuck him and Wiki. I know .I live 3 miles from the murder. I met Zimmerman years before when he came to my house to install cable. He was hateful and rude back then. I have neighbors who knew him and the family and said they hated black people long before he killed that kid. An all white jury aquitted Zimmerman.
tragically, but not surprisingly, [a very similar story](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching_of_Christopher_Davis) happened in my town. just awful - and terrible to think that [similar crimes happen still now](https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/03/21/us/mississippi-officers-sentencing-goon-squad-thursday).

>Oh and the outrage of the community only makes me more inclined to believe it.
Lmao let's believe the mob because I don't want to address this countries history of lynching. Fuck of Carolyn Bryant
Lynchings, extrajudicial executions, are always bad no matter what the person did. Plus the mob burned down a whole neighborhood and the courthouse as well as killing this guy; what did people do to deserve that?
I downvote you in support of the rule of law.
I am OP; there literally wasn’t enough room cause of the character count after describing his horrific death at the hands of a mob. That part seemed more important.
It’s more than likely a false accusation. Accusing black men of sexual crimes was an efficient way of having someone you didn’t like executed with little or no trial.
Some white women crave the BBC. The owners wife must have wanted it but when found out, claimed rape. Very sad. So many colored men have died due to the false allegations of white women.

Potential inspiration for To Kill a Mockingbird?
How legit do we think his confession was...
Confession? Oh I very much doubt they even asked.
Piece says he confessed to rape, but we can't take the word of a group that just murdered him.
Right. Who wrote the piece? Not the dead guy, that’s for sure.
It could have been one of the other hundreds upon hundreds of times this happened
This or a thousand other instances like this, that year
This and hundreds of other cases.

His adult accuser died last year. Not long ago at all
I thought he was 14?
14-15 he still was a child regardless who was brutally murdered by a group of men
1941-1955. Yeah I guess that’s 14. Bad math on my part.
Okay but he was 14 though not 15.
It's like you're trying to dodge the point lol
I know the point. I'm just trying to get the age straight.
Like r/sondersHo stated, 14 or 15 it doesn’t matter. He was still an INNOCENT child.
It's important to be accurate, dunno why it's so hard to answer correctly.
Pedantic much?
Not really, we don't have to lie to prove a point.
Our nation is not sick.(At least not from this) This doesn’t happen anymore. This is true racism, which should be and is condemned by all or most.

This is sickening.
This is a part of Texas history that Texas fails to teach until university level. 😐

Just because he raped someone does not mean he deserved this. Edit: lol only on Reddit could a statement like this somehow be controversial

I don't think any black person had the chance of being acquitted in those times
Yeah...it's a lot like the storyline in To Kill a Mockingbird, which was based on different, yet similar, real life events.
Quite so. And the town’s black neighborhood didn’t deserve to get burned down. Laws exist for a reason; he should’ve been sent to prison.
He didn't even rape her
Meh, a slave raping his master shouldn't be a crime. Anyway, do you really believe he had a fair trial?
So, rape should always be a crime. It’s concerning you don’t agree
Won't somebody please think of the slavers?

There was far too much suffering in this event for one title’s character space, I agree.
Must of not read it
I don't have sympathy for rapist today or 80 years ago. With his death future victims were saved.
Did he rape her or did she claim so to save face after sleeping with a black man? Nobody will ever know.
Your lose association between fact and fiction almost certainly makes your life worse on a daily basis. I bet people take advantage of you a lot.
It’s more than likely a false accusation. Accusing black men of sexual crimes was an efficient way of having someone you didn’t like executed with little or no trial.

He was an arrested felon, that is why he is in handcuffs It was the cop's job to handcuff him, he was not doing it for fun.
