Rebecca Hill's Men, Mobs, and Law features John Brown

Rebecca Hill, author of a new book entitled, Men, Mobs, and Law: Anti-Lynching and Labor Defense in U.S. Radical History [Duke University Press], appeared on the radio talk show, "Law and Disorder" on May 11. According to the "Law and Disorder" website, Hill's book discusses "the complexities of protest movements, race, class and gender. . . . Hill draws comparisons in two types of left protest campaigns, those that defend labor organizers from prosecution and the anti-lynching groups that seek to memorialize lynching victims. Hill says, both groups have influenced each other throughout history and she specifically connects the narratives and stories of the NAACP’s anti lynching work to the IWW’s labor defense campaigns."
