“On orders from President Rutherford B. Hayes, federal troops withdrew from the state house in Louisiana just 12 years after the end of the Civil War.

This withdrawal marked the end of Reconstruction & paved the way for the unrestrained resurgence of white supremacist rule in the South.”

“In the early morning hours of April 17, 1915, a Black man named Caesar Sheffield was taken from an unprotected jail, before he could be tried for this alleged offense, and shot to death by a mob of white men near Lake Park, Georgia.

No one was ever held accountable for his death.”

On March 27, 1908, Alabama Representative James Thomas Heflin shot Louis Lundy, a Black man, after he allegedly cursed in front of a white woman while riding on a Washington, D.C., streetcar.

He was never held accountable for shooting Mr. Lundy.
