Original Note:
Henry Choate was an 18 year old African-American man accused of raping a white girl in 1927. Choate was jailed and later lynched by a white mob, however, there is no evidence of Choate being guilty as he was murdered prior to a trial in court. http://john-banks.blogspot.com/2020/03/that-sends-you-to-hell-1927-lynching-of.html?m=1 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching_of_Henry_Choate
