  • Karlos K. Hill. Beyond the Rope: The Impact of Lynching on Black Culture and Memory

    William D CarriganARTICLEThe American Historical Review2017

    Karlos K. Hill’s brief but important new book Beyond the Rope: The Impact of Lynching on Black Culture and Memory adds to the impressive literature on lynching produced in recent years. Hill focuses on African American narratives of lynching, and in particular on how blacks in both public and private discourse shaped stories around black lynching victims and their bodies as a way to help them respond to external events and to suit their own agend…

    William D CarriganARTICLEJournal of American History2014Cited by: 1

    Historians’ study of lynching has matured greatly since I first began exploring the subject in the early 1990s. I was fortunate to have been a student of George C. Wright at the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Wright introduced me to the topic of extralegal violence and became my adviser as I completed a senior thesis on the infamous 1916 lynching of the teenaged African American farmhand Jesse Washington in Waco, Texas. From those early days,…

    In the early morning hours of July 20, 1903, a lynch mob killed three men during an attack on the jail at the Big Horn County courthouse in Basin, Wyoming. The grand jury indicted eight individuals for the murders, but none of them were convicted. Prosecutors found that witnesses were unwilling to testify against the lynchers. Six years later, participants in another act of mob violence known as the Spring Creek raid were not so fortunate. Five o…

  • In defense of the social order: Racial thought among southern white Presbyterians in the nineteenth century

    William D CarriganARTICLEAmerican Nineteenth Century History2000

Before the Civil War, the religious leaders of the Southern Presbyterian Church did n…
