On Sept. 18, 1921, racists lynched a 16-year-old named Eugene Daniel.
The lynching is documented As part of a report about an ugly legacy of attacks by Whites against Black people in North Carolina. Those reports say the people who hung Daniel from a tree and shot him several times were prominent Chatham County citizens.
"A story that, for generation to generation, never got passed down to anyone," said the victim's great-niece, Cheryl Taylor. "Because my grandmother said to me when I asked when I was a child because I saw the Bibles, all the names, she said 'He died young.' And I said 'OK, he died young. Maybe he was sick and something happened.' But no one else in my family ever spoke of it, never said anything. So when I found it, it hurt me so much."
"For almost a century in the United States, Black men, women and children like Mr. Daniels were pulled out of their homes," said Trey Walk from the Equal Justice Initiative. "They were shot, they were drowned, they were beaten, they were hanged, and they were lynched in public spaces. And the entire community would show up for these events.
