 The Seattle Times: Opinion: The N-word's poison can't be washed clean
No transcript is known to survive, but it is reasonable to assume that when a mob of white men lynched a fl man named Sam Hose, cut off his fingers, ears and genitals and skinned his face in 1899, they used the N-word.
Similarly, though there's no recording of the attack, it's likely that when a pregnant fl woman named Mary Turner had her fetus slashed out of her, then stomped to death by a white mob in 1918, the N-word was there.
Sam Hose and Mary Turner would find that hubris hard to swallow, having died with the N-word in their ears.
