Feb. 17, 1947 | White Mob Lynches Willie Earle Near Greenville, South Carolina Learn more about our history of racial injustice.

On this day in 1947, a white mob in Pickens County, South Carolina, seized a 24-year-old Black man named Willie Earle from the local jail. On a deserted country road near Greenville, the mob brutally beat, stabbed, and then shot him to death. No one was ever convicted for the lynching of Mr. Earle.
