Of all the sites on the internet, this may be the hardest to look at. "Without Sanctuary" - a history of lynching and other public barbarism in American history - as depicted in postcards! I'm not surprised. I have often written that our human history shows us to have been consistently racist, greedy, and deluded. Usually all three. As the narrator says, " I can't help but think of these photos, and the march of time, and of the cold steel trigger in the human heart."
