In the century after the end of the American civil war, lynching became a fixture of life in the United States, especially in the south. Though often remembered as acts of vigilante justice carried out by extremists, these acts of terror were widely tolerated by state and federal officials and often attended by large crowds that included prominent local citizens and their elected representatives, all eager to see newly liberated black southerners reminded that white people could kill them with impunity.
But for the last 12 years, there has been one unique and extraordinary effort to commemorate a single lynching: the infamous 1946 killing of two black men and their wives in Monroe a crime that would shock the nation and help spark major changes in the law, even as its perpetrators went unidentified and unpunished.
On 14 July 1946, a 24-year-old black farm worker named Roger Malcolm drove a knife into the stomach of his boss and landlord, a prominent white farm owner named Barnette Hester. Malcolm and Hester had both grown up in Monroe, a major cotton-farming town in Walton County, 40 miles east of Atlanta. As children, they had even played together on the Hester family farm. But now they were separated by a vast gulf: Hester was white and owned land, from which he profited handsomely; Malcolm was black and worked the land, from which he eked out a living. Like many black citizens of Georgia, Malcolm was determined to leave soon and head north to Chicago in search of better employment and social mobility.
Malcolm, a notoriously short-tempered man, had come to believe that his common-law wife, Dorothy, was having sex with Hester. Drunk and furious, Malcolm confronted Hester in front of his house. In the scuffle that ensued, Malcolm took out a knife and stabbed him. The fight was witnessed by several other members of the Hester family, who were inclined to kill Malcolm on the spot. But they demurred. You would have to serve time, counselled Ida Hester, Barnettes mother, according to one account. You let the others do it.
