Found the pictures from "Without Sanctuary" right here.
Lots of lynchings there. Looking through them, so far I have yet to see a single white hood or sheet.

Hoods and sheets were not necessary because no one was afraid of being identified. There was never any retaliation or justice served for lynchings - law enforcement was usually in on it and most of the time blacks packed up and moved away from the area in large numbers out of fear for their lives. Ironically, when blacks moved away the economy suffered. There are previously thriving towns that are now ghost towns because a lynching took place there!
