Lynching of Aaron and Anthony (Arkansas, 1856)
Lynching of two Black men in Arkansas
Aaron, Anthony, and Randall were three enslaved Black men who died of racial terror in the United States. Aaron and Anthony were lynched in 1856 in Washington County, Arkansas, after being accused of a murder and released by the court, one because he was proven innocent and the other for lack of evidence. Randall was hanged for that crime.
