Duluth apologizes after 71 years
Article Abstract:
The citizens of Duluth, Minnesota strove to make amends for the lynching of three black youths by a white mob in 1920. The three victims' death resulted from the whites' racist attitudes which condemned them of crime without proper trial. The youths' graves were previously unmarked although someone had already attempted to give them a proper burial. The discovery of the graves uncovered the event and Duluth's citizens paid their respects by erecting stone markers and praying for the victims.
