Record of lynchings in the United States in 1910
The Chicago Chronicle notes 1910 saw 57 lynchings in the United States, far fewer than earlier years. Most victims were Black, with ten cases involving alleged assaults on white women, and five white victims including Italians and a Mexican. Southern states accounted for nearly all, with Ohio the lone Northern case.
