The founder also reportedly said that when he was growing up in Indiana, people would drag black people from trucks until they died.

Was this an everyday occurrence in Indiana? Like the black churches being burned that Bill Clinton talked about?

Or is he just remembering the single instance of James Byrd in Texas?

This sentence is very ill-phrased.

I think they meant to say: "...people would drag Black people behind trucks until they died."

Does anyone know if Forbes is looking for a good copy-editor? I might be available...

I call BS on his claims. The dragging of James Byrd got national attention for the barbarity of the act as well as it's rarity. Emmett Till was remembered for it's barbarity as well as it's rarity.

There were lynching in the early Twentieth century Indiana but not one dragging death, much less multiple dragging deaths as Schnatter claims.
