About the Book
This book is the first to document the story of Amy Mallard, who sought justice through the legal system for the 1948 lynching of her husband in Georgia and later became an advocate for civil rights at the national level.Book Synopsis
The first book to document the story of Amy Mallard,who bravely sought justice for the lynching of her husband and became an
advocate for civil rights In this book, Matthew Lippman
details the little-known story of Amy Mallard, a schoolteacher from rural
Georgia who, after the lynching of her husband, Robert "Duck" Mallard, in 1948,
courageously sought justice through the legal system. Lippman explores Mallard's
trajectory from a victim to a civil rights activist. The
story begins with Amy Mallard's arrest for her husband's murder. Making
extensive use of primary and secondary sources, including historical and
current news articles, Mallard's interviews, and the NAACP Papers, Lippman
chronicles her journey from her exoneration and testimony at the trial to her
activism at the national level. A founding member of the Sojourners for Truth
and Justice, she also worked with the Civil Rights Congress, where she assisted
with three pivotal civil rights cases and helped submit the famous "We Charge
Genocide" petition to the United Nations. An
important addition to the history of African American women, racial violence in
Georgia, and justice in the post-World War II South, Amy Mallard and Racial
Justice situates Mallard's story within social and legal history. This book
outlines how the American legal system failed in its promise of delivering
justice and accountability to Mallard and many other Black Americans like
her.
