Talk:Newberry Six lynchings

Sourcing
—Not a good source, and unclear otherwise whether this was the official report or not. Better sourcing needed.— the title says it all. This article had some remarkably bad sourcing, even in context. Qwirkle (talk) 18:12, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

New book on the lynching
A new book---Hidden in Plain Sight : A History of the Newberry Mass Lynching of 1916---by Janis Owens and published in May 2021, goes into great detail about this event. Instead of seven Afro Americans being lynched, there were definitely five, and perhaps six. Of the six people jailed, one woman was pregnant. She may have been lynched or freed and told to leave the county. There is some confusion about this, but available information seems to favor the latter. This number does not include Long, who mortally wounded Constable George Wynne, and was later convicted and sentenced to death. Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 02:39, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
