This episode contains references to physical and sexual violence. Please be advised. Sam Hose, Lige Strickland, Sidney Johnson, Mary Turner, Hayes Turner, Eli Cooper, George Dorsey, Mae Dorsey, Roger Malcolm, and Dorothy Malcolm all met their end by lynching. There's no easy way to discuss the gruesome, important, and uncomfortable reality of Georgia's relationship with lynching so we choose to shine a light on these ten victims' stories. Let us never forget.

James lets the ink dry before sealing his letter. He hears everything in the hot June woods. His parents, far away in Massachusetts, have no idea what it's like to be on the front lines of battle during a merciless and clingy Southern June. But this is not just any campaign or any war, this is the Atlanta Campaign of the American Civil War. From the pens of the people who lived it 162 years ago to your ears, we're resurrecting these letters for you once again.
