One Off The AP Wire says James Allen, owner of a rare exhibit of lynching photographs, is pulling out of Emory U. Linda Matthews, director of special collections and archives at the library, said Emory couldn’t meet his price and that he wouldn’t negotiate.
The scenes, mostly captured by amateur photographers, were used as souvenirs at lynchings throughout America.
The exhibit’s chilling content among it, photographs and postcards of disfigured, burned corpses surrounded by crowds of smiling faces is a reminder of the South’s past.
