A flag bearing the words "A man was lynched yesterday" was flown from the national headquarters of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) between 1936 and 1938 to mark lynchings of black people in the United States. It was part of a decades-long anti-lynching campaign by the NAACP that began after the 1916 lynching of Jesse Washington. The flag was first flown after the lynching of A. L. McCamy in Dalton, Georgia, in 1936, and was stopped from flying in 1938 after the NAACP's landlord threatened them with eviction if they continued the practice.

  • A flag bearing the words "A man was lynched yesterday" was flown from the national headquarters of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) between 1936 and 1938 to mark lynchings of black people in the United States. It was part of a decades-long anti-lynching campaign by the NAACP that began after the 1916 lynching of Jesse Washington. The flag was first flown after the lynching of A. L. McCamy in Dalton, Georgia, in 1936, and was stopped from flying in 1938 after the NAACP's landlord threatened them with eviction if they continued the practice. A similar flag, inspired by the original, was created by artist Dread Scott in 2015. It read "A man was lynched by police yesterday" and was exhibited at art galleries. (en)
  • Entre 1920 y 1938, la Asociación Nacional para el Progreso de las Personas de Color (NAACP) izó en su sede una bandera con las palabras «Un hombre fue linchado ayer» (en inglés, A man was lynched yesterday) cada vez que se producía un linchamiento en los Estados Unidos para crear conciencia. La bandera se compró con dinero recaudado tras el linchamiento de Jesse Washington en 1916. La práctica se interrumpió en 1938 cuando el propietario del edificio amenazó a la NAACP con el desalojo si continuaba izando la bandera. (es)
