@The Mass Lynching of 237 Sharecroppers in 1919

America’s Forgotten Mass Lynching: When 237 People Were Murdered In Arkansas. In 1919, in the wake of World War I, black sharecroppers unionized in Arkansas, unleashing a wave of white vigilantism and mass murder that left 237 people dead. At his office in Little Rock, Arkansas, attorney Ulysses S. Bratton listened as African American sharecroppers from the Delta told stories of theft, exploitation, and endless debt. The sharecroppers were unionizing to protect their livelihood from the white land owners. Because the sharecroppers went to seek justice and exercise their legal constitutional rights, they were lynched.
