Patricia Bernstein
In 1916, a crowd of cheering spectators watched as Jesse Washington, a retarded black boy, was publicly tortured, lynched, and burned on the town square of Waco, accused and convicted in a kangaroo court. Patricia Bernstein has reconstructed the details of not only the crime but also its aftermath.
