The lynching of Michael Donald in Mobile, Alabama, on March 21, 1981, was one of the last reported lynchings in the United States. Several Ku Klux Klan (KKK) members beat and killed Michael Donald, a 19-year-old African-American, and hung his body from a tree. One perpetrator, Henry Hays, was executed by electric chair in 1997, while another, James Knowles, was sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty and testifying against Hays. A third man was convicted as an accomplice and also sentenced to life in prison, and a fourth was indicted but died before his trial could be completed.

dbo:abstract
  • Le lynchage de Michael Donald à Mobile, Alabama le 21 mars 1981, est l'un des derniers cas de lynchages signalés aux États-Unis. Plusieurs membres du Ku Klux Klan (KKK) passent à tabac Michael Donald, un adolescent Afro-Américain, avant de lui trancher la gorge et de suspendre son cadavre à un arbre. Un des auteurs, Henry Hays, est condamné à la peine de mort en 1984 et exécuté sur la chaise électrique en 1997. Un autre, James Knowles, mineur au moment des faits, est condamné à l'emprisonnement à perpétuité en 1985 après avoir plaidé coupable et témoigné contre Hays dans le cadre d'une négociation de peine. Un troisième homme est reconnu coupable du meurtre et pareillement condamné à l'emprisonnement à perpétuité en 1989 et un quatrième (le père de Hays), suspecté d'être le commanditaire du lynchage, est décédé deux mois avant l'ouverture de son procès. L'exécution de Hays est la première en Alabama depuis 1913 pour le crime d'un Blanc sur un Noir. C'est la seule exécution d'un membre du KKK au cours du XXe siècle pour le meurtre d'un Afro-Américain. La mère de Donald a intenté une action civile contre les United Klans of America (UKA), dont les assaillants faisaient partie. En 1987, un jury lui a accordé des dommages-intérêts de 7 millions de dollars, ce qui a mis l'organisation en faillite. Cela a créé un précédent pour une action civile en dommages-intérêts contre d'autres groupes racistes. (fr)
  • The lynching of Michael Donald in Mobile, Alabama, on March 21, 1981, was one of the last reported lynchings in the United States. Several Ku Klux Klan (KKK) members beat and killed Michael Donald, a 19-year-old African-American, and hung his body from a tree.

A third man was convicted as an accomplice and also sentenced to life in prison, and a fourth was indicted but died before his trial could be completed. Hays's execution was the first in Alabama since 1913 for a white-on-black crime. It was the only execution of a KKK member during the 20th century for the murder of an African American. Donald's mother, Beulah Mae Donald, brought a civil suit for wrongful death against the United Klans of America (UKA), to which the attackers belonged. In 1987 a jury awarded her damages of $7 million, which bankrupted the organization. This set a precedent for civil legal action for damages against other racist hate groups. (en)
  • Linchamento de Michael Donald em Mobile, Alabama, em 21 de março de 1981, foi um dos últimos linchamentos relatados nos Estados Unidos. Vários membros da Ku Klux Klan (KKK) espancaram e mataram Michael Donald, um afro-americano de 19 anos, e penduraram seu corpo em uma árvore. Entre os criminosos envolvidos no linchamento, Henry Hays, foi executado por cadeira elétrica em 1997, enquanto outro, James Knowles, foi condenado à prisão perpétua após se declarar culpado e testemunhar contra Hays. Um terceiro homem foi condenado como cúmplice e um quarto foi indiciado, mas morreu antes que seu julgamento pudesse ser concluído. A execução de Hays foi a primeira no Alabama desde 1913 por um crime de branco contra preto. Foi a única execução de um membro da KKK durante o século XX pelo assassinato de um afro-americano. A mãe de Donald entrou com uma ação civil por morte ilícita contra o United Klans of America (UKA), ao qual os agressores pertenciam. Em 1987, um júri concedeu a ela US $ 7 milhões em danos, o que levou a organização à falência. Isso estabeleceu um precedente para ações legais civis por danos contra outros grupos racistas de ódio.
