Black radio host threaten with lynching
A Black (African-American) radio host in Los Angeles has been threaten with lynching. Terry Anderson broadcasts on Sundays at KTLA AM radio. Lynchings of Negro slaves were very common in the USA especially in the southern states or in what is commonly known as "Dixie". Hundreds of lynchings of Blacks by White racists took place even after the emancipation. The following photograph is on Anderson's website and was sent to him through e-mail:
The inhumanity and evil of certain White people are forever remembered through the lyrics sung by the great Billie Holiday in a song named STRANGE FRUIT. You can hear this very sad song at http://www.aztlan.net/strange_fruit.htm
For those of you unfamiliar with the "Lynching" legacy of America, please read the excellent presentation at http://www.liunet.edu/cwis/cwp/library/african/2000/lynching.htm
