The 1898 lynching of Tom Johnson and Joe Kizer is retold in this
groundbreaking book. Unlike other histories of lynching that rely
on conventional historical records, this study focuses on the
objects associated with the lynching, including newspaper articles,
fragments of the victims' clothing, photographs, and souvenirs such
as sticks from the hanging tree. This material culture approach
uncovers how people tried to integrate the meaning of the lynching
into their everyday lives through objects. These seemingly ordinary
items are repositories for the comprehension, interpretation, and
commemoration of racial violence and white supremacy. Elijah Gaddis
showcases an approach to objects as materials of history and
memory, insisting that we live in a world suffused with the
material traces of racial violence, past and present.
