The Delegal Family: A Black Community Said No to a Lynching. Jim Crow Struck Back in 1899 Georgia

In 1899 Georgia, the Delegal family and the Black community of Darien had seen enough. Tired of the lynchings, tired of the silence, they came together to stop a mob from taking a man they loved. They didn’t riot. They didn’t run. They organized — and stood their ground. But the system struck back. This video traces how a lie became law, how resistance was turned into a crime, and how a community’s strength was punished in courtrooms and chain gangs. This is the third story in our series, When the Law Leaves Us — a story about what happens when Black protection is met with panic, and how memory can be a form of justice. 🕊️Storytelling & Mission Approach 🕊️ This channel shares historical stories based on scholarly research, archival records, legal documents, and public sources.
