History

Historical Context

The 1913 murder of 13-year-old Mary Phagan in Atlanta sparked outrage and highlighted systemic failures in law enforcement. Leo Frank, the Jewish factory manager wrongfully convicted of her murder, was lynched in 1915 after his death sentence was commuted. This case intensified antisemitism and led to the formation of the Anti-Defamation League, underscoring ongoing issues of justice and community safety.
