Ell Persons was a black man who was lynched on 22 May 1917, after he was accused of having raped and decapitated a 15-year-old white girl, Antoinette Rappel, in Memphis, Tennessee, United States. He was arrested and was awaiting trial when he was captured by a lynch party, who burned him alive and scattered his remains around town, throwing his head at a group of African Americans. A large crowd attended his lynching, which had the atmosphere of a carnival. No one was charged as a result of the lynching, which was described as one of the most vicious in American history, but it did play a part in the foundation of the Memphis chapter of the NAACP.

  • Ell Persons est un homme afro-américain, lynché le 22 mai 1917 à Memphis, aux États-Unis, après avoir été accusé d'avoir violé et décapité une jeune fille blanche, Antoinette Rappel. Alors qu'il a été arrêté et est en attente de son procès, il est capturé, brûlé vif, et ses restes sont dispersés dans la ville. Une foule nombreuse assiste à ce lynchage, dans une ambiance de carnaval. Personne n'est condamné pour ce lynchage, décrit comme l'un des plus cruels de l'histoire américaine. (fr)
