Between 1877 and 1950, thousands of Black people in the United States were killed in racial terror lynchings as violent resistance to equal rights and white supremacy fueled fatal attacks over alleged crimes, supposed violations of social customs, or interracial relationships, often without evidence. In Forsyth County, Georgia, this terror culminated on September 10, 1912, when Rob Edwards, a 24-year-old Black man arrested on suspicion in the fatal assault of Mae Crow, was seized from the jail in Cumming by a mob of at least 2,000 white residents, beaten with a crowbar, shot repeatedly, dragged through the streets, and hanged in the town square. Two Black teenagers also arrested in the case, Ernest Knox and Oscar Daniels, were later convicted by all-white juries after one-day trials and hanged before thousands of white spectators. The lynching and the mob violence that followed terrorized Forsyth County’s remaining 1,098 Black residents, who fled in fear, abandoning homes and farms to escape arbitrary violence, and the county remained essentially all white until the 1990s. No one was ever held accountable for Rob Edwards’s lynching or the mass exodus that followed, and he died without due process of law.
