An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

On May 16, 1918, a plantation owner was murdered, prompting a manhunt which resulted in a series of lynchings in May 1918 in southern Georgia, United States. White people killed at least 13 black people during the next two weeks. Among those killed were Hayes and Mary Turner. Hayes was killed on May 18, and the next day (May 19), his pregnant wife Mary was strung up by her feet, doused with gasoline and oil then set on fire. Mary's unborn child was cut from her abdomen and stomped to death. Her body was then repeatedly shot. No one was ever convicted of her lynching.

  • El 16 de mayo de 1918, el propietario de una plantación fue asesinado, lo que provocó una cacería humana que dio lugar a una serie de linchamientos en mayo de 1918 en el sur de Georgia (Estados Unidos). Una turba mató a al menos 13 personas negras a lo largo de las siguientes dos semanas.​ Entre los asesinados se encontraban Hayes y Mary Turner. Hayes fue asesinado el 18 de mayo, y al día siguiente (19 de mayo), su esposa embarazada Mary fue linchada junto con su bebé recién nacido. Estos linchamientos son ejemplos de la ejercida por motivos raciales por los blancos contra los negros en el sur de Estados Unidos, particularmente entre 1880 y 1930, el pico de los linchamientos. El condado de Brooks en Georgia, y Georgia entre los estados, tuvieron las tasas más altas de linchamientos del país durante este período. La Asociación Nacional para el Progreso de las Personas de Color (NAACP) citó el asesinato de Mary Turner en sus campañas contra los linchamientos de las décadas de 1920, 1930 y 1940.​ En la llamada «era de los linchamientos», de 1880 a 1930, la gran mayoría de estos asesinatos se cometieron en el sur.​ La mayoría de los miles de individuos linchados en los Estados Unidos eran negros​ y la mayoría eran hombres, aunque se sabe que al menos 159 mujeres fueron linchadas.

  • On May 16, 1918, a plantation owner was murdered, prompting a manhunt which resulted in a series of lynchings in May 1918 in southern Georgia, United States. White people killed at least 13 black people during the next two weeks. Among those killed were Hayes and Mary Turner.

Mary's unborn child was cut from her abdomen and stomped to death. Her body was then repeatedly shot. No one was ever convicted of her lynching. These lynchings are examples of the racially-motivated mob violence by white people against black people in the American South, especially during 1880 to 1930, the peak of lynchings. Brooks County in Georgia, and Georgia among the states, had the highest rates of lynching in the nation during this period. The NAACP referred to Mary Turner's murder in its anti-lynching campaigns of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. In the lynching era from 1880 to 1930, the great majority of these murders were committed in the South. Most of the thousands of individuals lynched in the United States were black, and most were men, but at least 159 women were known to have been lynched. (en)
