Beyond Footnotes

In this interview with Professor David Johnson we discuss general trends of lynching in the Pacific West. Professor Johnson discusses two projects he is currently working on. The first is a digital project which maps lynchings in the Pacific West. The second is a book discussing the legendary lynching of a hispanic woman in California during the Gold Rush. Join us as we discuss the practice of lynching in a part of the United States where occurrences of lynching may be surprising to some.
