Photo Description
African-American man with knapsack walking away from a Caucasian man lynched from a tree branch. White envelope with blue ink. Image on left. "Judas vile betrayed his master, I betrayed fair liberty. We meet the same end of high treason and dangle from the same high tree. Massa Davis, what a figure, you will cut upon dat swing. I'd sooner be the poorest nigger, den the whitest 'cotton king.'" The graphic and text are biased which inspire injustice and fear. Black dialect was also used in depicting black people at that time.
