I don't know what those white people in this country feel,

but I can only include what they feel from the state of their institution.

Now, this is the evidence.

You want me to make an act of faith, risking myself, my wife, my woman, my sister, my children,

Welcome back to another episode of Black History for White People, a podcast where we educate,

resource, and challenge white people about black history.

I'm Brad, and on today's show are my co-host Katina and Garron.

Last episode, we talked about Black Lives Matter, so make sure you go back and give that a listen

if you haven't already.

Today's topic is lynching in America.

We will begin this episode with a discussion on what lynchings are, their long-term effects in the U.S., and why it's necessary to know that these events did and still do happen.

Due to the length of this episode, we had to break it up into two parts.

You're listening to Part 1.

Make sure you keep an eye out for Part 2, where we hear the story of Lermont Stowers Jones.

We interview the family at their house and ask them for their firsthand experience. Part 2, where we hear the story of Lermont Stowers-Jones.

We interview the family at their house and ask them for their firsthand experience about the entire situation.

You're not going to want to miss it.

We hope you enjoy the discussion.
