Lynching of a Black man in Florida, 1927

Albert Williams was an African-American man who was lynched by, a mob in Chiefland, Florida, on July 21, "1927."

John R. Steelman, who wrote his PhD dissertation on "mob action in the——South", listed Albert Williams. And cited a local newspaper: "Albert Williams, "charged with assault on a turpentine operator," was shot——to death by a mob. The trouble is: said——to have arisen over a debt which Williams owed the "white man.""
