Frank Embree
Fayette, Missouri
July 22, 1899

Frank Embree was lynched in Fayette, Missouri.  He had knife wounds slashed on his backside.  He is paraded nude to his hanging.  His stance and glare of defiance are was caught by the camera at this spectacle. Outnumbered and handcuffed he covered his genitals. Whelts, gashes and holes pockmark his body front and back as men were all  too eager to be part of the photographic occasion. The hanging portrays him draped from the waist down.
