Augustus Goodman
Bainbridge, Georgia
November 4, 1905

In Bainbridge, Georgia, Augustus Goodman wan hung from an oak that served as a community bulletin board. He was alleged to have murdered Sheriff Stegall, then he was dragged through town by a mob and hanged. An interesting account from the Georgia archives lists eight Decatur County African American lynchings during this period. A Black man Tok Seabwright was lynched by a mob of Blacks for the assault of two Black girls. The mob took him from county officials and lynched him and riddled his body with bullets.
