Some months ago, the "Washington Post" ran a long article on lynchings
in American history. They published a chart on the number of recorded
lynchings from 1882 to 1968, as reported by Tuskegee Insitute.

This chart shows 2 lynchings in New York State for the period 1882 -
1968.
One was the lynching of a black person; the other a lynching of a white
person.

Does any one on the list have an information on either of these
lynchings ? Location ? Circumstances ?

Just for your info, here are the statistics as reported by Tuskegee
Institute for the states in the North-East:

New England:
Maine - 1 [white person]
Vermont - 1 [white person]
none reported in the rest of New England

New York:
1 white; 1 black

New Jersey:
1 white; 1 black

Pennsylvania:
2 whites; 6 blacks

Delaware:
1 black

Thanks for any info anyone might have on the 2 reported for New York.
