100 Years of Lynchings Many years ago I read this book from cover to cover at least three times. I remember it was a paperback edition and was illustrated with the original news articles and photographs taken at the time the events enumerated actually occurred. I am disturbed that the most recent editions of this work was published with the illustrations and original news articles removed. I can imagine why this was done, but its unfair to the reader and researcher alike. If you are an African American I suggest ore than anything else... its an insult that the publisher would do this. I want nothing less than the original version of this work. Anyone, African American or not, who sees and reads the original will understand why.
