Talk:Lynching of Sam Hose

newnan.com
SEE:newnan.com/samhose and "The Sam Hose Story:Lynching a Trajedy With No Winners"[3/18/o7] at http://times-herald.com for a more historically accurate account and a letter from the family of ALFRED and MATTIE CRANFORD. "Newnan was given undeserved and undesired nation-wide publicity when a mob brought Sam Hose, caught at Griffin, Ga., after one of the most fiendish and horrifying crimes at Palmetto in the annals of the State, to one of her suburbs and burned him."

Why won't Wikipedia use a verifiable newspaper article? ( written ten days after Hose committed his atrocity and, clearly, taken from an eyewitness to the lynching) I provided the link, and used it as a source to re-write what Wiki has here on Sam Hose - which is nothing more than a gross distortion of the known truth. Wiki, not surprisingly, rejected every correction...and went right back to their 'gross distortion of the truth'version. Wiki continues to be used as a major source to re-write Black History, specifically attempting to sanitize or completely eliminate black crimes against the white population in American history. Most informed people know Wiki cannot be trusted with historical events, and particularly involving the black race.

I will provide the link again...for those who want to know the truth to the Sam Hose atrocity.

Edits of 3 August 2014.
The sections Footnotes and Bibliography were 1/2 metre wide. I edited them with my meagre skills. Basically, the only changes I made were in format, so it is easier to read now...I reckon. Tjlynnjr (talk) 22:07, 3 August 2014 (UTC).

Needs a major rewrite
Besides sources above, I've just found What Virtue There Is in Fire: Cultural Memory and the Lynching of Sam Hose By Edwin T. Arnold, University of George Press, 2012, which seems to summarise most of the sources including Litwak (Litwak wrote that in  Trouble In Mind: Black Southerners in the Age of Jim Crow not the essay mention).

This is not Sam Hose
I do not know why, but obviously an editor by the name of User:CzarJobKhaya had purposely overlooked my comment on the last edit that i had done, stating the the photo used at the time of the edit was NOT Sam Hose, but a photograph of the lynching of Jesse Washington. I don't know why this user would try to add it back, and rather misplaced i would say. but PLEASE do not add the photograph of Jesse Washington back and Continue to spread the misinformation that it is Sam Hose, these are two completely unrelated men who have been lynched. The photograph of the supposed Sam Hose being lynched is not even the full photo! The Library of Congress has this photo on record, on their online archive. you can clearly see where it was cropped. https://www.loc.gov/item/95517784/. The site where this supposed image of Sam Hose had been sourced is from a website who appears to not have been updated since 2004 judging by the formatting of said site looking rather outdated. I personally would not trust a dinky little site like this over a government website like the library of congress. and when we have more pictures of the event of Jesse washington's lynching on hand which you can clearly see the photo belongs to that event. I don't know if there exists a photo of Sam Hose's Lynching but this is not it. I Will fix it but please do not add this photo back. Strangers Dancing (talk) 19:17, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
