This 24-page document published by the Commission on Interracial Cooperation is an update to its initial report, also offered in the auction catalog as lot 154. The foreword reads that: “Five years have passed and the lynching habit seems as strongly entrenched as it was in 1930.” The report documents 84 additional lynchings that occurred over the five-year period. A higher proportion of the lynchings took place in southern states and the perpetrators were rarely dealt with by the legal system.
