In a pamphlet she published called “Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases” she found that from a sampling of 728 lynching reports, only a third of Black men lynched had actually “ever been charged with rape, to say nothing of those who were innocent of the charge.” White men were lying about Black-on-White rape and hiding their own assaults of Black women.
