According to
the headlines of the Wall Street Journal,
Stephen
Goldfarb, a reference librarian in an Atlanta public
library, has posted a
site that names, perhaps, some of the residents of
Cobb County who were
involved in a 1915 lynching of Leo Frank. See his web
site at: leofranklynchers.c

.
It is a courageous stand, since many of the names
are well known in
today\’s Marietta community, and their descendents are
uneasy at this
spotlight on their county\’s past.

The lynching helped boost the organization of the
Anti-Defamation
League of the B\’nai B\’rith (Leo Frank was president of
the Atlanta chapter
of the B\’nai B\’rith), as well as start a new round of Ku
Klux Klan
activity, named after Mary Phagan, a young woman
reportedly murdered by Leo
Frank.
