there is oscar daniels there.ndcuffed and i don't know if you can see it in this light by the earnest knox was 16 years old. he worked as a hired man from the time he was 14 so he is a hired man and his cousin oscar second from the left 18 years old and they are just dwarfed by the grown men in the militia. i'm not saying that automatically they are innocent oscar daniel and ernest knox when you look at the census records were the three young black men in the area and their trial was conducted by a lynn sherr and the sheriff the rest of them is the future founder of the. ernest knox infection which was the main thing of the trial was delivered while he was being lynched so i feel sadder and sadder the more i read it. i wish i could have exonerated him in a court of law by finding out who did it but there's no

oscar daniel and we arest knox would eventually be hang for the murder. it was something i couldn't escape. these were the first faces of black forsythi had ever seen. i knew that it raised more questions than it answered. if two of those faces belonged to the teenage boys that would swing for their crime, which two and if they were accused of raping and killing may crow, who are all the others, all my life i questioned whether black people ever really lived in forsyth but now i was face to face with the truth or at least something much closer to it than i thought i would get. the image was with lies and bigotry and heart was no myth, it was a terrible reality. these were real people being led to real deaths at the start of the season of violence. they would lead to expulsion of 1,098 residents of forsythi began to understand how the tale had made racial cleansing only a legend. like something that we never fully understand rather than what it was a deliberate and sustained campaign of terror. this is another photograph that i came on, that i came upon ve

of two teenage boys and don't know if you can see it in the slide but second from the left is oscar daniel, on the far right, and he was 16 and the newspapers reported this calling them fiendish guerrilla type negroes. and they were very poor. and eventually convicted in a 1-day trial, both found guilty. i find a letter, recounted how it was held over an open well and a white man wrapped budget growth around his back and this was the source of the so-called confession and it was attended by 5000 people. they came out, in the field where it happened, made a horse shoe around it, and picnic baskets and they celebrated this hanging. the book's character included county sheriff who a few years later founded the local chapter, a number of unexpected heroes including a deputy who tried to stop the violence and set off a bomb on the county courthouse. this is the sheriff on the left named bill reed and it deputy on the right, this complicated my sense of the white community when i was learning more about the victims of all this i was led to believe this was a unanimous communitywide action and op
