The racist GOP cult is trying to ban history from being taught in schools because their racist little feelings are triggered by the truth.
On May 19, 1918, Mary Turner, 8-months pregnant, spoke out about the lynching of her husband, Hayes Turner.
A white mob bound her feet, hanged her from a tree with her head facing down, threw gasoline on her, and burned the clothes off her body. Mrs. Turner was still alive when the mob took a large butcher’s knife to her abdomen, cutting the unborn baby from her body. When the baby fell from Mary Turner, a member of the mob crushed the crying baby’s head with his foot. The mob then riddled Mrs. Turner’s body with hundreds of bullets, killing her.
The white mob lynched Mary Turner and her unborn child to maintain white supremacy, silence her, and communicate to the Black community that no dissent from the racial order would be tolerated. No member of the mob was ever held accountable for the lynching of Mary Turner and her unborn baby.
Brooks County, Georgia had the third highest number of documented racial terror lynchings.
