My late father was an older man when I was born in 1972 (nineteen years my mother's senior). I remember him telling me about witnessing a hanging as a child of 5 or 6. I don't know if it was a legal hanging or something a little more sinister, but he said the whole community came out for it and his mother even packed a lunch as if they were going to a picnic! Had to have taken place in the 1920s if he was that young and been around Jena, since that's where he lived as a small boy.
More than likely it was a lynching or a state sanctioned event, but I’m leaning more towards the former. It was a terrible time for our fellow citizens in Louisiana during that time period.

Well done. A nice piece of obscure Louisiana history well told. Thank you.
Thank you for the compliment!
Wonder story, Love hearing about our Louisiana history, im in bogalusa ❤
Check out my video on Bogalusa history!
Thank you for posting this bit of Louisiana history.
My pleasure!
i absolutely love you channel
That makes me happy!
Good job on the research.
Thank you, my friend! It’s plenty of work but so fun and worth it.
She literally took the motto 'ride or die' for real
Haha you right about that!
Do a video on Willie Francois who survived the electric chair in Louisiana and / or a video on the history Saint martinville
I’ve added these to my list!
good video
Glad you enjoyed!
The video title has a major typo. It reads "dine" rather than 'die'.
The algorithm doesn’t like when those words are in the title so I meant it as more of a tongue-in-cheek euphemism.
English isn’t your native language
@@stanleydouge2803 moi ?
I did a video on this subject as well. Great work!
Much appreciated, mon ami!

“Lynching”
More than likely it was a lynching or a state sanctioned event, but I’m leaning more towards the former. It was a terrible time for our fellow citizens in Louisiana during that time period.
This was an 8ntwresti g story
Agreed!
She surely had a nice headstone!
That’s what I hear
They don't serve meals at the electric chair.
At one point they did
They could cook the meal while being held by the person being electrocuted.
why are you looking the other way?The cameras over here.
This isn’t about me 😛
Dine?? 🤫
Yes
👍
🙌
Did she have her last meal in the electric chair?
No
I think Harold lied. If Tony Jo killed the man, why would he doubt her resolve?
Harold might be a liar
to dine?
Yea like “to eat with”
The algorithm doesn’t like trigger words like “die”

The dates are mixed up.
Care to elaborate?
