When he was a child, E.W. Higginbottom daydreamed about doing what the law had not — about returning to Oxford, Mississippi, to avenge his father. Now, he just wanted to stand in the place where his father died, although he couldn’t fully explain why. Maybe, he thought, it would make room in his mind for something else. His father, Elwood, was murdered by a mob in 1935. E.W. was 4 at the time. He’s now 87 and the last remaining family member to have seen his father alive. What does it mean to confront the past? This is a question that has dogged the family their whole lives, but also one that’s increasingly urgent for a country that has yet to achieve the equality many thought would follow the #civilrights movement. Elwood was 1 of at least 4,100 African-Americans who were lynched between 1877 and 1950 in 12 states clustered along the curve from Virginia to Texas. This week, the country’s first memorial to lynching victims opened in Montgomery, Alabama, along with a museum to racial injustice. @joshua_rashaad photographed E.W. Higginbottom in Memphis, Tennessee. Visit the link in our profile to read his family’s story, by Vanessa Gregory, in @nytmag.
