The lynching of George White occurred on Monday, June 22, 1903 in Wilmington, Delaware. White was a black farmer who was accused of the rape and murder of Helen Bishop, who was arrested and brought to the workhouse. On the evening of June 22, under the impression that the local authorities were not reacting severely or soon enough, a large mob of white men marched to the workhouse, broke their way in, and forced White out of his cell. He was then brought to the site of Helen Bishop's death, bludgeoned, had parts of his body dismembered, then was tied to a stake, and burnt to death. It is often referred to as the only documented lynching in Delaware, and as one of the worst crimes in Delaware history.
