Sunday, April 27, 1913 was a date that brought a vicious wave of racism throughout the United States of America. When the body of Mary Phagan was found in the basement of the National Pencil Factory in Atlanta, Georgia, Leo Frank, a part owner of the company, was arrested for her rape and murder. There was enough crucial evidence that could have proven other suspects, such as Newt Lee and Jim Conley, as being involved in the rape and murder of Mary Phagan, nevertheless, Leo Frank was arrested despite of not being as strongly suspected as Lee and Conley, and was eventually lynched in an inhumane, unfair manner which was apparently the result of American hatred towards Jews. Although the murder of Phagan definitely ruined Frank’s future, it is extremely important to learn about their past in order to determine their personalities and ambitions for the future.

Jondavid Longo Professor Tom Copeland Politics in Global Terrorism Book Review: Rebel Hearts 4/12/09 On Dec. 13, 1867, three Fenian militants, engaging in an action in what Kevin Toolis calls "the longest war the world has ever known," killed six people, including a 7-year-old girl, when they set off a bomb outside Clerkenwell Prison in London.
