The map shows the lynching in my town...Coos Bay, OR... which was predicated on a false accusation by a white woman, as I remember it.

They were all predicated on “false” accusations by white women. The TV told me so. Everyone knows black dudes have no interest in white girls.
Fascinating. Looking at the map, Oregon only had a dozen or so lynchings (the Idaho-Oregon border seems vague), and Marshfield hosted the only one that involved, to use the word used on the chart, a black.
Only a single dot. I guess being sent out to sea on a log doesn’t count.
On the whole, whatever its other shortcomings, it looks like the Oregon Constitution as originally designed did cut down on lynchings.
