Lynching of Marie Thompson of Shepherdsville : ウィキペディア英語版 | Lynching of Marie Thompson of Shepherdsville The lynching of Marie Thompson of Shepherdsville happened on June 14, 1904 in Lebanon Junction in Shepherdsville, Bullitt County, Kentucky for the murder of a white farmer. Marie Thompson, referred to by one reporter as a "negro Amazon," had attempted to break up an argument between John Irvin and her son over an alleged missing pair of pliers. Thompson claimed that she cut Irvin with a razor in self-defense.〔Wright, George C. 1990. Racial Violence in Kentucky, 1865-1940: Lynchings, Mob Rule, and "Legal Lynchings". Louisiana State University Press. Baton Rouge and London. Pg 116, 186.〕〔Franklin, J.H. and Moss, A.A.''From Slavery to Freedom: A History of African Americans, 8th ed.''〕〔Feimster, C.E. ''Ladies and Lynching: the gendered discourse of mob violence in the new South, 1880-1930''〕 ==The murder of John Irvin==
Marie Thompson was working in her vegetable garden, with her son, as a sharecropper on John Irvin's land. Irvin approached them, and demanded the return of a pair of pliers. Thompson's son said that he had already returned the pliers. Irvin then began to accuse the boy of stealing the pliers, verbally berating him, and then John Irvin kicked the boy in the back several times.〔Feimste, Crystal Nicole. Southern Horrors: Women and the Politics of Rape and Lynching.〕 After John Irvin accused the boy of larceny, and then kicked him in the back several times, Marie Thompson confronted Irvin, and they argued. Shocked that Marie Thompson didn't just "cringe" before his insults and abuse, Irvin demanded that Thompson "get off his place."〔 By evicting Thompson, a poor single black sharecropper in the South, John Irvin, in a matter of seconds, took Thompson's home, income, and dignity. "Angry and desperate... Thompson struck back."〔 According to Thompson, she complied with Irvin's demand, but "intentionally walked slowly". This intensified Irvin's anger, and he tried to attack Marie from behind with a knife.〔 Thompson, a woman weighing 255 pounds, got the better of Irvin and cut his throat with a razor, murdering her white male landlord.〔 Understanding the consequence of a black woman murdering a white man, even in self-defense, Thompson sold her horse and furniture to her neighbors, and was preparing to flee when she was arrested.〔
