Will Stanley lynching
This postcard shows the lynching of Will Stanley in Temple, Texas, in 1915. On the internet, this postcard is often mistaken for the 1916 lynching of Jesse Washington.

For proof, see the January 1916 issue of Crisis magazine, which was published in January 1916, before the Washington lynching. It shows the image from the postcard and names Stanley as the victim.
