The problem with vigilante justice is that it is not justice at all. It is the violation and usurpation of justice. It is probably the best way for innocent people to suffer for someone else's crime(s). So, all *innocent victims* are sensitive, yes. Not one to the exclusion of the others. -----Original Message----- From: ncjohnst-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ncjohnst-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Bettie Moore Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2008 1:17 PM To: ncjohnst@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NCJOHNST] Lynching Close to Home Did you also look for all the murders by knife and gun of innocent people???

In case you have ever wondered why African-American families are so sensitive about the symbol of the noose, you should take a look at a book I recently got through inter-library loan. I saw it reviewed on C-Span and found that my local library had it but it was missing. The book is a series of 98 plates of lynchings in the very late 19th and early 20th century in many sections of the U.S. I did not look at all of the plates but instead read through the description/location of the plates at the rear of the book. I was looking for North Carolina lynchings in particular since I remembered my grandmother revealing that she had known of a lynching in Salisbury, NC in her young adult years (she was born in 1879). Strangely I only found two plates in NC--one in Salisbury in 1906 and another in Goldsboro, NC in 1916. Of course, many of the plates are from unknown times/locations but are similar to the identified photos in that they were saved in their times by being preserved as lithographs on postcards, many of them with post marks to argue that they had actually been sent through the U.S. mail. The horror of these historic photos is that the individuals who were hanged were most often snatched from jails where they were awaiting trial for some offense--vigilante parties couldn't wait for justice but mindlessly acted on accusations only; local law enforcement even enabled the lynchings on occasion. On-lookers (often children) and vigilantes most often didn't hide their faces. The photos in the book represent mostly locations in the South, Middle West, and West, often as far as California. Not one was from the New England section of our country. The latest photo was in the early 1940s. Even some women were lynched. This must be the one my grandmother hinted at: Plate 12: "The lynching of five African American males--Nease Gillepsie, John Gillepsie, "Jack" Dillingham, Henry Lee, and George Irvin--with onlookers shown in the photo.

Dear List's. I hope I did not forget to paste this info.. forgive me if sending twice. Gail WILMINGTON -- Donald Wayne Sasser, 68, died Wednesday at New Hanover Regional Medical Center after a brief but sudden illness. Beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather and friend, Don, was born in Princeton, N.C., son of the late James Herbert Sasser and Rosa Lynch Sasser. Don was the business owner of Sasser's Rentals and the former owner of Sasser's Auto Sales. He was a member of several local Baptist churches including Sunset Park Baptist, Southside Baptist and Silver Lake Baptist where he held various positions. He thanked the Lord every day for the many blessings bestowed upon him. Don was an honest, hard working and honorable man; his principled nature meant he backed his word with a handshake. He never met a stranger and he was always ready and willing to help anyone that needed a helping hand. Don loved his ocean home and mountain house where he spent many good times with family and friends. He was an avid sports fisherman and passionate card player. Don will be remembered for his love of business, sense of humor, loyalty to his friends and devotion to his family. He was preceded in death by two brothers, James Sasser and Robert Glen Sasser; one sister, Dorothy Mae Overbee; and one niece, Betty Sue Coston.

Possible fathers are John Mitchell and William(Willie) Mitchell. Possible brother is Reuben Mitchell. Pemberton is such as unusual name that I thought he would be easier to find. Wrong! Any help breaking this brick wall would be helpful. This area he lived in is now Wake Co but used to be in earlier times Edgecombe Co then Johnston Co. Thanks to anyone checking their papers and files. Phyllis Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
