The Lynching of #MarieScott...Marie Scott was a 17 y/o Blk teenage girl, who lived in Wagoner County, Oklahoma, in 1914...She was lynched by a white mob after she was brutally assaulted by 4 white men who broke into her home while she was undressing..
On March 31, 1914, 4 inebriated white men decided to drive over to the Blk community of Wagoner County, Oklahoma with the intent to sexually assault Blk women...these men broke into the home of 17 y/o Marie Scott and proceeded to sexuallly assault her..
Marie's brother heard her cries for help, grabbed a knife and ran to help his sister..Marie stated they fought off the 4 men, with one man, Lemuel Pierce, being stabbed to death...she told her brother to run, and he did.
Marie was arrested by the local sheriff and his deputies, WITH NO ARRESTS, INDICTMENT OR CHARGES BEING BROUGHT AGAINST HER ATTACKERS‼
An angry white mob became enraged when they couldn't find Marie's brother, so they dragged Marie, kicking and screaming, from her jail cell, and hung this 17 y/o sexually assaulted child from a nearby telephone pole on March 31, 1914.
Marie's brother was never caught or charged in the murder of one of her rapists.
Such was the life of the Blk woman during the Jim Crow era...though she was no longer a chattel slave, her body and sexuality was STILL BEING USED, ABUSED AND DISCARDED BY THE WY MAN at his whim, without ANY CONSEQUENCES whatsoever ‼
We honor our Ancestors, and remember the turmoil, anguish and egregious wrongs they suffered..REST IN POWRA, YOUNG QUEEN‼✊🏿
