Lynching of Michael Donald (original) (raw)
The lynching of Michael Donald in Mobile, Alabama, on March 21, 1981, was one of the last reported lynchings in the United States. Several Ku Klux Klan (KKK) members beat and killed Michael Donald, a 19-year-old African-American, and hung his body from a tree. One perpetrator, Henry Hays, was executed by electric chair in 1997, while another, James Knowles, was sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty and testifying against Hays. A third man was convicted as an accomplice and also sentenced to life in prison, and a fourth was indicted but died before his trial could be completed.

| dbo:abstract | Le lynchage de Michael Donald à Mobile, Alabama le 21 mars 1981, est l'un des derniers cas de lynchages signalés aux États-Unis. Plusieurs membres du Ku Klux Klan (KKK) passent à tabac Michael Donald, un adolescent Afro-Américain, avant de lui trancher la gorge et de suspendre son cadavre à un arbre. Un des auteurs, Henry Hays, est condamné à la peine de mort en 1984 et exécuté sur la chaise électrique en 1997. Un autre, James Knowles, mineur au moment des faits, est condamné à l'emprisonnement à perpétuité en 1985 après avoir plaidé coupable et témoigné contre Hays dans le cadre d'une négociation de peine. Un troisième homme est reconnu coupable du meurtre et pareillement condamné à l'emprisonnement à perpétuité en 1989 et un quatrième (le père de Hays), suspecté d'être le commanditaire du lynchage, est décédé deux mois avant l'ouverture de son procès. L'exécution de Hays est la première en Alabama depuis 1913 pour le crime d'un Blanc sur un Noir. C'est la seule exécution d'un membre du KKK au cours du XXe siècle pour le meurtre d'un Afro-Américain. La mère de Donald a intenté une action civile contre les United Klans of America (UKA), dont les assaillants faisaient partie. En 1987, un jury lui a accordé des dommages-intérêts de 7 millions de dollars, ce qui a mis l'organisation en faillite. Cela a créé un précédent pour une action civile en dommages-intérêts contre d'autres groupes racistes.

A third man was convicted as an accomplice and also sentenced to life in prison, and a fourth was indicted but died before his trial could be completed. Hays's execution was the first in Alabama since 1913 for a white-on-black crime. It was the only execution of a KKK member during the 20th century for the murder of an African American. Donald's mother, Beulah Mae Donald, brought a civil suit for wrongful death against the United Klans of America (UKA), to which the attackers belonged. In 1987 a jury awarded her damages of 7million,whichbankruptedtheorganization.Thissetaprecedentforcivillegalactionfordamagesagainstotherracisthategroups.(en)LinchamentodeMichaelDonaldemMobile,Alabama,em21demarc\code1981,foiumdosuˊltimoslinchamentosrelatadosnosEstadosUnidos.VaˊriosmembrosdaKuKluxKlan(KKK)espancaramemataramMichaelDonald,umafro−americanode19anos,ependuraramseucorpoemumaaˊrvore.Entreoscriminososenvolvidosnolinchamento,HenryHays,foiexecutadoporcadeiraeleˊtricaem1997,enquantooutro,JamesKnowles,foicondenadoaˋprisa |
