Lynching of three Black men in Indiana, 1871

George Johnson, Squire Taylor, and Charles Davis, were three Black men who were killed in a spectacle lynching in 1871 in Charlestown, Indiana. All three men were lynched by a white mob for the murders of Cyrus Park, his wife and two of his children. The lynching was controversial at the time. While others supported the lynching, many questioned the guilt of the three men privately and publicly.
