Hog Jowl and Peas and the Mob Lynching Record
A January 1921 piece contrasts a traditional New Year dish hog jowl and peas with a grim public record of lynching across states. It notes Georgia’s and other southern states’ high mob executions, discusses nationwide spread of mob violence, and cites the Benetleta’s anti-lynching campaign as progress against vigilante punishment. It warns mob law’s expansion into non southern crimes and emphasizes the need for national action against lynching.
