“In one of America’s most shameful chapters, thousands of African Americans – no one will ever know how many – were lynched. For two sisters who witnessed a lynching, memories still haunt. Ninety-four-year-old Katherine Fletcher will never forget how her one-time classmate was murdered in St. Joseph, Missouri eight decades ago.”
This weekend’s edition of PBS's Religion and Ethics NewsWeekly includes a report on these tragic events and their effects on participants and witnesses. The report also offers a look at how lives can transcend evil.
