Comments
A college student researching sundown towns found that, in the 1930s, a group of white men shot and killed a black man in the woods. He was described as a possible criminal and a “wild” man.
This incident is described in a New York Times article: %u201C%u2018Wild Man%u2019 is Unclaimed%u201D
