Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith

Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith, both African Americans, were lynched on August 7, 1930 in Marion, Indiana. They had been arrested the night before on charges of robbing and murdering a white factory worker and raping his girlfriend. A large crowd broke into the jail with sledgehammers, beat the men, and hanged them. Police officers in the crowd cooperated in the lynching. A studio photographer, Lawrence Beitler, took a photograph of the dead bodies hanging from a tree surrounded by a large crowd; thousands of copies of the photograph were sold.

What’s known as the “Great Migration,” the mass movement of African Americans from the south to northern cities, saw 200,000 African Americans claiming New York–specifically Harlem–as their new place of residence. As a result, Harlem became a cultural hub for dynamic jazz and blues as well as a platform for rising jazz artists.

The end of World War 1 welcomed a new era in New York – one in which jazz, illegal booze, gangs, commerce and culture flourished. By the 1920s, New York boasted nearly 6 million residents and served as a booming center for immigrants and migrants entering the city through road, rail and boats.
