Laura and L. D. Nelson were an African-American mother and son who were lynched on May 25, 1911, near Okemah, Okfuskee County, Oklahoma. They had been seized from their cells in the Okemah county jail the night before by a group of up to 40 white men, reportedly including Charley Guthrie, father of the folk singer Woody Guthrie. The Associated Press reported that Laura was raped. She and L. D. were then hanged from a bridge over the North Canadian River. According to one source, Laura had a baby with her who survived the attack. Laura and L. D. were in jail because L. D. had been accused of having shot and killed Deputy Sheriff George H. Loney of the Okfuskee County Sherriff's Office, during a search of the Nelsons' farm for a stolen cow. L. D. and Laura were both charged with murder; Laura was charged because she allegedly grabbed the gun first. Her husband, Austin, pleaded guilty to larceny and was sent to the relative safety of the state prison in McAlester, while his wife and son were held in the county jail until their trial. Sightseers gathered on the bridge on the morning of the lynching. George Henry Farnum, the owner of Okemah's only photography studio, took photographs, which were distributed as postcards, a common practice at the time. Although the district judge convened a grand jury, the killers were never identified. Four of Farnum's photographs are known to have survived—two spectator scenes and one close-up view each of L. D. and Laura. Three of the images were published in 2000 and exhibited at the Roth Horowitz Gallery in New York by James Allen, an antique collector. The images of Laura Nelson are the only known surviving photographs of a black female lynching victim. (en) Laura e Lawrence D. Nelson (nati rispettivamente nel 1878 e nel 1897) furono una madre e figlio afroamericani che vennero sottoposti a linciaggio il 25 maggio del 1911 nei pressi di Okemah, nella contea di Okfuskee in Oklahoma. L. D. aveva sparato al vice-sceriffo di Okemah, George Loney, il 2 maggio del 1911 uccidendolo, dopo che questi assieme ad un posse comitatus aveva scoperto nella fattoria di Nelsons una vacca rubata. L. D. e Laura furono entrambi accusati di omicidio, nel caso di Laura perché era stata la prima ad afferrare il fucile. Suo marito, Austin, si dichiarò colpevole di furto e venne inviato nella cella di sicurezza della prigione statale a McAlester. Laura e L. D. rimasero detenuti, assieme alla figlioletta più piccola, nella prigione della contea in attesa del processo. Nella notte del 24-25 maggio Laura e L. D. furono sequestrati da un gruppo composto da 12 a 40 , tra cui vi era anche Charley Guthrie, padre del futuro cantante folk Woody Guthrie. L'Associated Press riferì che Laura subì anche violenza sessuale. Lei e L. D. furono poi impiccati da un sul "North Canadian River". Secondo una fonte la bambina di Laura si trovava con lei ma sopravvisse all'aggressione. I curiosi si riunirono numerosi entro la mattinata. George Henry Farnum, proprietario dell'unico studio fotografico di Okemah, scattò delle fotografie che distribuì poi come cartoline postali, una pratica comune all'epoca. Il giudice distrettuale convocò un Grand jury, ma gli assassini non sono stati mai identificati. Le quattro fotografie di Farnum sono conosciute per essere sopravvissute: due scene di spettatori e una veduta ravvicinata di Laura e L. D. Tre delle immagini sono state ripubblicate nel 2000 per essere esposte presso la "Roth Horowitz Gallery" di New York da James Allen, un collezionista di antichità. Le immagini di Laura Nelson sono le sole fotografie sopravvissute conosciute di una vittima femminile di linciaggio negli Stati Uniti d'America. (it) Laura e Lawrence Nelson foram uma mãe e seu filho negros dos Estados Unidos que foram linchados em Okemah, Oklahoma, em 25 de maio de 1911. Laura, seu marido e o seu filho de 15 anos de idade, Lawrence (e seu bebê, de acordo com alguns relatos), foram levados sob custódia depois de Lawrence ter baleado e morto George Loney, vice-xerife de Okemah. Loney e um grupo de pessoas chegaram na casa dos Nelsons "para investigar o roubo de uma vaca". O marido de Laura se declarou culpado do roubo e foi enviado para uma prisão estadual de segurança relativa. Em um esforço para salvar seu filho, Laura disse que disparou o tiro fatal. Tanto ela quanto Lawrence foram presos, e o filho foi levado para a cadeia local e Laura para uma cela no tribunal do condado. Três semanas depois, uma multidão de cerca de 40 homens brancos armados chegaram para raptá-los, amarrando os guardas e levando mãe e filho. Laura foi estuprada, segundo alguns relatos, e em seguida ambos foram enforcados em uma ponte sobre o Canadian North River. Centenas de espectadores se reuniram na ponte na manhã seguinte, e fotografias dos corpos pendurados foram vendidas como cartões postais. Os assassinos nunca foram identificados. O evento foi citado em diversas canções do cantor estadunidense de folk Woody Guthrie, cujo pai participou do linchamento. Os Nelsons estavam entre pelo menos as 4743 pessoas linchadas nos Estados Unidos entre 1882 e 1968, sendo que cerca de 3.446 deles eram negros, e 73 por cento dos casos ocorridos no sul. (pt) |
