African American lynched in the U.S.
In September 1935, Elwood Higginbotham was lynched by a white mob in Oxford, Mississippi .[1] [2]
Background [ edit ]
Elwood Higginbotham was a 29 year old African American tenant farmer .[3] [3]
On September 17, 1935, a mob broke into his cell and abducted him.[3] [3]
No one was ever prosecuted for his murder.[3] [2]
After Higginbotham's lynching, NAACP Secretary Walter White wrote to President Franklin Roosevelt to call for a federal anti-lynching bill.[1]
In 2018, a plaque was placed where he was believed to have been lynched.[3]
