We want to make a documentary on Black women who were lynched. We plan to produce the video in honor and recognition of the 155 African American women and girls who are known to have been lynched and those whose names we do not know. We intend to have 155 women and girls speak the names of the women on the list, the date they died and the place where they were made into martyrs. We also intend showing footage from the locations where they joined the ancestors, as well as interviewing Professor Maria Delongoria, Dr. Daniel Meaders and others for their insight into the lynching of women.
1. At least 155 African American women and girls are known to have been lynched in America.
2. We want to inform the public of the true nature of lynching.
3. Would you be willing to share this message with others? In so doing we increase awareness and gain support for this project.
