We posted this image to accompany this org's site. This is an organization that researched the lynchings that happened in NC.

We also will post a book written about the lynching of Black people history in NC in the Gallery for Books-Resources, so please check there also.

"A RED RECORD"
"Revealing lynching sites in North Carolina and South Carolina"
The Red Record documents lynchings in the American South using DH Press. Started in February of 2015, The Red Record aims to identify, using latitude-longitude pairs, the locations of lynchings in North Carolina and South Carolina -provide access to relevant manuscript material about lynching events
-remember the targets of lynching as whole persons with families, jobs, and identities beyond that of victims
-offer users both broad and specific information about lynching for research, teaching, and other uses
-create a space for one facet of an important conversation about race, violence, and power in the United States

This project seeks to address the irony that despite the fact that members of lynch mobs documented their activities deliberately and prolifically, the physical spaces where lynchings took place by and large remain unmarked. This project will visualize lynchings in new ways, to the extent possible privileging images of modern sites of historic lynchings over the mob-produced images of damaged black bodies that were intended to terrorize the wider black community.

Future iterations of the project will seek to engage community partners in diverse styles of documentation; integrate lynching and death penalty data; address press coverage; and include attempted lynchings, not just those that resulted in a death.

The title, The Red Record, is drawn from Ida B. Wells-Barnett’s work by the same name.
