In 1899, a 19-year-old African American man was falsely accused of assaulting a 14-year-old White girl named Willie Dougherty, daughter of Wood Dougherty. The young man, Frank Embree, was stripped completely naked and whipped in front of a crowd of almost 2,000 witnesses. He took 100 lashes from horse whips before he ever cried out, refusing to admit he had done anything wrong. Ultimately, he could no longer endure the pain, and he gave a false confession to end his torture. He never begged for his life, but asked to be killed swiftly. The crowd was led by Mr. Dougherty and they eventually hung the 19 year old. There are numerous photos of this event and no one was ever convicted of the crime of lynching Embree.
