Talk; Jesse Washington/Comments

The photograph posted with the article on Jesse Washington is NOT Jesse Washington. This photograph appeared in the NAACP magazine, "The Crisis," before Jesse Washington was lynched and represents an early lynching victim in Temple, Texas, in 1915.

The creator of the article probably found this photograph, mislabeled, in James Allen's book "Without Sanctuary." I have already pointed out the mistake to Mr. Allen, who has done such wonderful work collecting lynching pictures.

Sadly, when the lynch mob was through, there wasn't even this much left of Jesse Washington to photograph.

Thank you, Patricia Bernstein

Jesse Washington is not a murder victim

he should not be placed in the murder victim directory.

Looks to me like he was a murder victim. Sign your comments if you want to be taken seriously. Cami Solomon (talk) 01:04, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

he is not listed as a murderer? Yet he is listed as a murder victim? Doesnt seem fair. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.142.224.197 (talk) 04:17, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
