Black Pastor Uses Lynching Photo to Get Out the Vote

By Rick Pearcey • September 15, 2012, 06:12 PM

NBC News reports:

A pastor in Indiana has put up a sign that uses a historical image of the 1930 lynching of two black teenagers in an effort to recharge the black vote.

Rev. Joy Thornton, the senior pastor of Greater St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church in Indianapolis, said he’s concerned that African-Americans have grown complacent about voting, and he wants to urge people to exercise the right he says was hard won, the Associated Press reported.

The sign, which has stood for nearly a week along the street in front of the church, shows, on one side, a white mob gathered around the teens to watch the lynching in Marion, Ind. Atop the photo is the word “VOTE!!!” Beneath it is the question: “Is this a reason to vote?” The other side of the sign shows an image of slaves in chains, with wording beneath it that reads, “Lest we forget.”

One wonders how this pastor or other pastors might answer the following race-related questions regarding the Democrat and Republican parties:

1. What Party was founded as the anti-slavery Party and fought to free blacks from slavery?

2. What was the Party of Abraham Lincoln who signed the emancipation proclamation that resulted in the Juneteenth celebrations that occur in black communities today?

3. What Party fought to keep blacks in slavery and was the Party of the Ku Klux Klan?

4. What Party from 1870 to 1930 used fraud, whippings, lynching, murder, intimidation, and mutilation to get the black vote, and passed the Black Codes and Jim Crow laws which legalized racial discrimination and denied blacks their rights as citizens?

An answer key to these and additional questions can be found here. Remarks by Rep. Allen West can be seen on YouTube here.
