Dude I’m a history nerd and have a pretty solid grasp on random abscure shit and this was an unknown to me. I’m in California and my town was having crosses burned around the same time which is more directly relevance to me, some dude getting lynched a year before I was born in fucking Wyoming is so far outside my view you may as well bring up hate crimes in Vostoc Russia, the same thing applies to damned near everyone. Fact of the matter is that it’s categorically impossible to know about every hate crime committed in the past 30 years, even folks who study this shit for a living would probably miss some things. You don’t need to know about every thrice damned obscure case to know the broad trends and issues.
