Overview
Fedo, a Duluth native and former correspondent for the New York Times, retells the story of the lynching of three black men for the alleged rape of a white woman in Duluth, MN in 1920, based on newspaper accounts, court records, state files, and interviews with witnesses. This unusual Northern lynching received wide public attention at the time, due in part to the fact that nearly one tenth of the city's residents were in attendance to watch the hangings.
