White lynching victim in Pickens County, SC (1887)

On December 30, 1887, in South Carolina, a 35-year-old white man named Manse Waldrop was lynched by a mostly African-American mob for allegedly raping and murdering a 14-year-old African-American girl named Lula Sherman. On March 6, 1889, three members of the mob, William C. Williams, Harrison Heyward, and Henry Bolton, were convicted of murder. The jury recommended mercy for all three men.
