About this Item

Title

  • The blood red record : a review of the horrible lynchings and burning of Negroes by civilized white men in the United States, as taken from the records

Summary

  • Lists of lynched and burned African Americans in the US after 1893. Bruce condemns such lynchings and treatment of blacks at the hands of so-called "civilized," Christian whites, mostly but not entirely in the South since the Civil War. He makes a strong statement for corrective measures and for acceptance of the African American as a full-fledged citizen. Bruce was a newspaper correspondent, historian, a widely read and influential African American journalist, and an early black militant.
