According to the Tuskgee Institute, they recorded 3,445 black people who were lynched, however, there are still other unrecorded or unknown deaths http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/shipp/lynchingyear.html. In regards to those that were recorded, there were different circumstances for the victim and oppressor in which kept this form of terrorizing the black individual and keeping the white privilege and power at its highest. First, what action was taken by the individual to be subject to these ways of terrorism by their society. Second, of those who terrorized what were there ways of going about killing their target.

Instances

1. In Newnan, Georgia, Sam hose was believed to had split open the skull of a respected white farmer with an ax, injuring his children and raped his wife where the corpse lay because of a quarrel over wages. Local and regional newspapers took over the publicity, promotion, and sale of the event titled as “DETERMINED MOB AFTER HOSE, HE WILL BE LYNCHED IF CAUGHT”. In front of nearly 2000 people, Sam Hose was burned at the stake in a public road. They deprived him of his ears, fingers, other body parts. They cut the body into pieces including his heart and liver and crushed his bones into small bits. Despite of all of this, they even torn up the tree he was killed on to give away as souvenirs and paid 25 cents for small pieces of his bone and 10 cents for a bit of his liver.
2. In Texas, Henry Smith was an insane ex-slave who allegedly killed a three-year-old daughter of the brutal Texas policemen who assaulted him. Even though the chile had not been molested, a local Clergyman fueled the growing hysteria with lurid tales of how she had been “taken by her heels and torn asunder in the mad wantonness of gorilla ferocity.” Henry Smith was later captured in Arkansas and confessed on the train back to Paris, Texas. All surround by 10,000 people who had been watching, the father of the child, her brother and two uncle’s thrust hot irons into quivering flesh. After they burned the feet and legs, they thrust more hot irons onto his stomach, back and arms, into his throat and burned out his eyes. They rolled him into the mass of people just to be pushed back and they rolled him out again and pulled back on the rope. This was the first blatantly public and actively promoted lynching by a large group of southern whites on a southern black.
3. In Greenwood, Mississippi, a black Chicagoan 14-year old Emmett Till was mumbling “Bye, Baby” and accused of whistling at the white wife of the general store’s owner as he was leaving the store and was marked for death. Emmett Till was later taken by a posse of white men who castrated him, beat him to death, tied him to the propeller of a cotton gin and submerged him in the swampy waters of the Tallahatchie River.

One thing I think should be accounted for is these records were all written by white people, so there is no one truth in regards to the scenariosThese instances and a lot of others, including those not recorded eventually resulted later towards The Civil Rights Movement. This was the time for black people present their empowerment and rightfully gain the rights they were sought by any means necessary and to any extent. Even though this movement resulted in many creations of laws for black people and their rights, black people still face the brutality.
