The Elaine massacre of 1919 in Phillips County, Ark. was one of the deadliest mass lynchings in U.S. history, claiming the lives of more than 200 African Americans in a 3-day span. The community rarely brings up the 1919 Race Massacre, and the younger generation, such as Dequincy Wilson, seen in the first photograph, has little to no remembrance of the town’s convoluted history. Ora Scaife, seen in the third photograph, and her family have lived in Phillips County for generations. But specific stories surrounding the massacre were not passed down. When she was a child, Scaife’s family would whisper at the kitchen table about the massacre and send her back to bed if she was caught listening. As Sherrilyn Ifill, President and Director-Counsel of the @naacp_ldf. writes, "lynching had devastating effects on those communities that still resonate. I encourage these local populations to do the hard work of identifying how to repair the damage that remains locked in the DNA of the countless hometowns where these horrifying events occurred.” Read more of Ifill’s essay on TIME.com.
