White supremacy, politics, and the aftermath of a slaveholding culture. Lynching becomes more common in the early 20th century. Not a decrease from 1890 to 1930, actually an increase. A place of black and white plus after 1890 a growing immigrant population from mexico. Growing population overall, as well as an immigrant population. As cities grow, as the economies improve, as african americans join the military, the whites work to show dominance, and put african americans in their place. African americans and tejanos as agents of their fate and victims of racism. Tejanos were also lynched: not as high as african americans. Memory = forgetting + remembering (example of mammy & the faithful slave; the alamo) Lynching was so common and accepted that it becomes embarrassing, so people hide it. Separation of black and white by law.
