The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part 1

In 1991, Minister Lewis Farrakhan, national representative of the Nation of Islam, released the first volume of a scholarly series titled "The Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews." The book reveals that Jews were at the center of the transatlantic slave trade and played a significant role in maintaining black slavery. The research confirms that after the emancipation of black slaves, Jews helped create and defend the racially oppressive Jim Crow system in the American South and were among the leading traders in America's cotton economy. The third volume, "The Leo Frank Case," examines a tragic incident in Atlanta, Georgia between 1913 and 1915 involving B'nai B'rit leader and factory manager Leo Max Frank. The case became an international cause celebre for Jews, who believed Frank was the victim of antisemitism. The Leo Frank case is considered a pivotal point in black history, when the Jews' history of slave trading, ownership of cotton, sugar, and tobacco plantations, Ku Klux Klan terrorism, and Jim Crow apartheid was deliberately replaced with a new narrative of shared persecution, civil rights coalition, and political common cause. The case offers a unique window into the thinking and strategizing by the Jewish leadership, and Jews demand that the outside world investigate it to draw an accurate portrait of American Jewish identity and how they have suffered and overcome racial and religious persecution.
