Figure 4.1 The Duluth Lynchings
Disgusting that they’re smiling for the photo.
Was slavery even banned?
This image is doubtlessly abhorrent. Remember that these onlookers thought this was okay based on the systems which had enabled it to occur in the first place.
Soulless
It’s hard for me to understand the societal standards that make this okay, especially as it was barely over a century ago. There was no emotion for what they had just done, as they stood there and posed for the camera next to lynched humans.
The social normalization of committing such disgusting crimes against other human beings is literally unimaginable. They truly had no remorse or belief of equality and it is so painfully clear.
Smiling for a picture after murdering someone is beyond psychotic. It shows not only a lack of remorse but also the fact that they took enjoyment in the crime.
I can’t even begin to understand how someone could smile for the camera after having just murdered someone
It is deeply unsettling how the crowd here, just like others before and after, saw lynchings akin to an event to watch. The brutalization of Black bodies- made to be fodder for the crowd to toy with and enjoy- it is unsettling.
The normalization of Black deaths during this time is clear. It’s mind blowing to think that many descendants of the White people involved are still present, with some likely holding onto similar mindsets.
