Hi List, My parents lived at Durham when this lenching occured. This was before i was born. They moved to Letcher Co. Ky about 1921.This happen before they moved. I took my dad back to DURHAM about 1960. Most all the houses were gone. Part of the old company store was still standing. While we were there he showed me where this happened and told me the story. He saw the lenching. A young black baseball player from Chattanooga,Tn played on a team at Durham. He stopped and starting talking to this white girl. Some of the white men saw him and accuse him of trying to rape her.My dad didn't think he had done any thing wrong. A big mob of whites gathered and took him away from the sheriff and lenched him.He said, a lot of men shot him full of holes after he was dead. I remember one of the men that shot him , LITTLE BILL PARKER. My father said that they would swing him around and shoot him some more. My dad JAMES E. DOYLE WORKED AT THE MINES . signed by Jack Doyle
