I did not know this word, "lynching," but when I asked Jade Moon about it she explained, "As I understand, it refers to a custom in the American South, where white men may punish the darker peoples with impunity by hanging them from trees." I was speechless. How could such barbarity exist in a land of freedom like America? What country was this, in which I had been living all these years?
