Lynchings and Racial Violence during Reconstruction

From 1865 - 1876, there were nearly 2,000 confirmed racial terror lynchings of Black people in America. EJI's Reconstruction in America report (http://eji.org/reconstruction) documents nearly 2,000 more confirmed racial terror lynchings of Black people in America than previously detailed. The report explores the 12 years following the Civil War when lawlessness and violence perpetrated by white mobs and permitted by state, local, and federal authorities created a new era in American history of racial hierarchy, white supremacy, and Jim Crow---an era from which our nation has yet to recover. This report increases the number of confirmed lynchings of Black people between 1865 and 1950 to 6,500 with thousands more that may never be documented. The legacy of lynching is evident in racially motivated violence that continues today. The Equal Justice Initiative works to end mass incarceration, excessive punishment, and racial inequality.
