Lynching - America's Pastime - an Article From the Tulsa Star

This is an article about lynching, listener discretion is advised.

We try to add articles that are interesting and often humorous, and would usually do an entire podcast with news and ads.  However, this week is only one article. It is from the Tulsa Star (Tulsa's Black Newspaper) from 1920 that is too serious to put next to an ad for corsets.    This is some serious business, and we feel it is a necessary juxtaposition to many of the newspaper articles we read.
