Talk:Lynching of L. Q. Ivy/Archive 1

Discussion moved from User talk:Grand'mere Eugene
...I've kind of run out of time for now, there's a lot of sources, especially there's a TON of info in this thesis, (which I'd rather not cite directly, but dive into the sources used) and this article from the New Albany Gazette. Some important things in searching is that Ivy's name was often confused with that of his father and brother (Jim Ivy, J.D. Ivy, J.P. Ivy). Some things I would like to work on are 1.) the impact on the anti-lynching movement including a book written by a politician (about "Jim" Ivy), 2.) the testimony of a white man named Russ Scott or Rush Scott and Ivy's brother J.D. that implicated an unknown white man, 3.) Scott's declaration that there was no way L.Q. had time to do what he was accused of, 4.) the identification, especially Bessie Gaines father's disbelief that Ivy was the man. 5.) The confession, which was declared by the lynchers but denied by other eyewitnesses. 6.) The torture. Anyway, it's going to take quite some time to digest that and determine what's sourced, what's speculation, and I'm going to have to limit my involvement for the time being. I hope you'll continue to take an interest, but it's going to take investing a lot of time before doing a little editing, to get it straight. Again, thanks for your interest in these topics! — Jacona (talk) 20:23, 19 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi,, I'll take a look at the sources with an eye toward the six areas you've identified as important to the narrative about L.Q. Ivy. In my first year editing WP, I started the Freddie Gray article, and I continue to believe that the details of these stories are important, to shed light on the saddest events of our history. — Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 00:12, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I made a start adding the infobox and section headings to break up the large block of text, but have not yet begun to address the six areas you've listed. I'll leave the fists one on the impact on the anti-lynching movement for you, if you have the book, and will start sifting through the sources to expand the article on the remaining topics. — Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 16:29, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
