Fair use rationale

I (User:Bcrowell) believe that the use of this image on Ku Klux Klan, Michael Donald, and Lynching in the United States falls within Wikipedia's Wikipedia:Fair use policy:

Unique historical images which we cannot reproduce by other means
not notably creative or artistic, not the subject of a current news story

This image is a faithful digitalization of a unique historic image, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the person who took the image or the agency employing the person. It is believed that the use of this Image

to illustrate the event or historically notable person(s) in question where:
The image depicts a non-reproducible historic event or historically notable person(s), and no free alternative exists or can be created, and
The image is low resolution and of no larger and of no higher quality than is necessary for the illustration of an article, and the use of the image on Wikipedia is not expected to decrease the value of the copyright,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.

If this does not accurately describe this image, please remove this tag and provide a different fair use rationale.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
