Thursday, February 26, 2009 -- 7pm
University of Washington Club Lecture Room
UW Sociology Professor Stewart Tolnay will discuss the history of lynching in the American South and the different explanations that have been offered for this phenomenon.

Professor Tolnay's research will bring these answers to light.
