The Red Record by Ida B. Wells-Barnett

3.0

A disturbing detail of lynching and the complete lack of interest by the non-black community in the late 19th century. It is truly frightening that this was somehow acceptable and nearly "the norm" for a considerable length of time. Wells' indignation comes through clearly, however, the statistical evidence of the criminal activity makes for a dry read.
