Only One Lynching That One Doubtful
ATLANTA December 29 A long year of racially charged murders and questions closes with a record of only one lynching in 1945. Tuskegee Institute notes the count, while Florida Governor Caldwell questions whether that Madison Florida case qualifies as a lynching. Dr. Guy Johnson of the Southern Regional Council argues for calling it a lynching despite official doubt. Johnson adds that the old mob lynching is waning and urges economic and legal reforms for a safer New South along with fair treatment for veterans. Caldwell defends his stance and cites the rape case as complicating the lynching definition.
