Mary Turner
Mary Turner (1899 - 19 May 1918) was a nineteen-year-old black woman, lynched in Lowndes County, Georgia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=A Place to Lay Their Heads )〕 Eight months pregnant, Turner and her child were murdered after she publicly denounced the unlawful extrajudicial killing of her husband, Hazel Turner, by a mob. Her death is considered a stark example of racially-motivated mob violence in the American South, and was referenced by the NAACP's anti-lynching campaign of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. From the 1890s onwards, the majority of those lynched in America were black, including at least 159 women.
== Early life ==
She was born Mary Hattie Graham, perhaps in 1899 ( there is ambivalence about her birth date), to Perry Graham and his wife, Elizabeth "Betsy" Johnson, in Brooks County, Georgia. She had one older sister, named Pearl, and two younger brothers, named Perry and Otha. She married Hazel "Hayes" Turner on 11 February 1917, in Colquitt County, Georgia. They had two children, Ocie Lee and Leaster, in addition to the unborn child who was killed during the lynching. After their parents' deaths, they were raised by relatives under assumed names.
