Philosophy,
Education, and After the Lynching Blues
Abstract
Lynching is American as apple pie. It is estimated between 1859
and 2014 over 6000 black men and women had been lynched in the United States.
This claim is not made to discount the non-black people who were lynched. It is
only to note that more blacks were lynched and in a greater number in the
United States than any other group. The focus of this talk will be the impact
on the teaching United States history with an emphasis on the violence that
often occurred after the lynching of a black person. I am concerned not so much
with the organized protest against lynching as much as the impact on families
and friends of the lynched victim who had to live in or leave their communities
after the lynching. I will take as my starting point the Irvin Berlin song “Suppertime.” The
song was written for the musical “As Thousands Cheer.” It was sung by
Ethel Waters and laments a mother having to tell her children that their father
will not be coming home. He was lynched.
You can view her singing
