Burning of Lowry Ignites Cross-State Lynching Upheld
A mob from Arkansas through Tennessee to Mississippi burned Lowry, a Black man, after a confrontation with Henry and Dick Craig over a settlement dispute. The mob, aided by newspapers and officials, transported Lowry to three states where he died in a brutal burning blamed on racial hatred, while arrests of others accused of helping him were hurried to Missouri and Little Rock. The incident exposes lawlessness and inadequate protection for prisoners amid sensationalized press coverage.
