"Racist mobs murdered African Americans with bullets, nooses, and
knives. Innocent people were mutilated, strung up, and roasted alive. In
the late 1800s, when these killings reached their peak, more than a
thousand African Americans were killed in just five years."

A historical perspective on false "balanced journalism" that I had not
seen.
