Description

In March of 1981, Michael Donald became the latest victim in America’s history of racial violence. The
young Black man was beaten, killed, and lynched by two members of the local Ku Klux Klan in his
hometown of Mobile, Alabama, for nothing more than crossing their path. The resulting murder
investigation triggered his mother, Beulah Mae Donald, to sue the state Klan into oblivion. A small comfort
for the victim of America’s last recorded lynching and his family.
