Georgia’s notoriety for lynching inspired Puck, a British satirical magazine, to feature this cartoon on the cover of the April 11, 1900, issue. It shows an African American family cowering in fear as men with guns and ropes pass in the background. In addition to satire, newspapers, periodicals, fiction, and advertisements commonly depicted African Americans with derogatory caricatures and stereotypes to justify segregation and discrimination.
