Wildly Borne Along

 

There are over 200 recorded cases of lynchings targeting Mexican-Americans across the West between 1848-1928.

Both my parents were children of mixed marriages, brown and white. Visiting the sites of these racial murders I think about mestizo history, the blood of both sides in me.

 

The violence between.

 
 
 
 

The majority of these lynchings were done extralegally, by means of “frontier justice.”
