Wilbur Little (also William or Wilbert in some sources) was a black United States veteran of World War I, lynched in April 1919 in his hometown of Blakely, Georgia, for refusing to remove his military uniform. Servicemen who had been discharged from the army were permitted under War Department regulations to wear their service uniforms for three months after their demobilization date. Reportedly, Little was still in uniform beyond that date. He was one of many African-American servicemen of the time who were subjected to violence for continuing to wear their uniforms after being discharged from the military.

has abstract	Wilbur Little (also William or Wilbert in some sources) was a black United States veteran of World War I, lynched in April 1919 in his hometown of Blakely, Georgia, for refusing to remove his military uniform. Servicemen who had been discharged from the army were permitted under War Department regulations to wear their service uniforms for three months after their demobilization date. Reportedly, Little was still in uniform beyond that date. He was one of many African-American servicemen of the time who were subjected to violence for continuing to wear their uniforms after being discharged from the military. Little was killed by Blakely residents, but the details of his death are uncertain. One source says he was hanged and burned. Another states he was beaten to death. The lack of authoritative information about these types of killings was not uncommon. (en)
