The Continuum of Abuse: Slavery, Black Laws, Contract Labor, Jim Crow, Lynching, Prison/Industrial Complex, Death Penalty
Ethical Humanist Society of Philadelphia, 1906 S. Rittenhouse Square, 215-735-3456
How come executions in the 21st Century follow the same pattern that lynching did in the 19th Century?
It is significant that the death penalty, like lynching, is most prevalent in the South. It is the latest in a series of techniques to subdue and control the African American population and maintain a system of white privilege. Prisoners arrested because they had no money (vagrancy) were leased to the same plantations where they had been slaves when they could not pay their fines. Angola Plantation became Angola Prison. The prison/industrial complex and death penalty continue the abuse of African Americans which started with slavery.
