Georgia Executed A Black Woman For Self-Defense Then Apologized 60 Years Later In 1945, Georgia executed Lena Baker, a Black domestic worker who killed her white employer in self-defense after he kidnapped, raped and threatened to kill her. An all-white jury sentenced her to death in one day. 60 years later, Georgia issued a posthumous pardon, admitting she should never have been executed. #lenabaker #georgia #jimcrow #injustice #self #defense #execution #posthumous #pardon #civil #rights" Hasht

What if I told you one of the most heartbreaking executions in American history wasn’t really about justice at all? 🤔 I just did a video on Lena Baker and whew… this story sits heavy on your spirit. Lena was a Black woman in Georgia who was sentenced to death in 1945 after killing a white man she said had kidnapped and abused her. She tried to tell her truth.

Today in Black Women’s History I researched Lena Baker. This is the most frustrating story I’ve ever researched that man and his son ABUSED HER and trapped her when all she was trying to do was help make money for her children and instead of the justice system you know helping her they ended her life.•• #TalkingPoint #ProtectBlackWomenAtAllCosts #stutteringawareness #historynerd #explorepage #nflhighlights #NCAAWBB #NationalLibraryWeek | Black Woman's History
