Without Sanctuary Response

Before watching this movie i knew what lynchings were, i just do not think that i have ever seen images like the ones shown in the movie. The beatings, stabbings and humility the victims were faced with before being hung is just wrong. I feel like everyone else did watching this movie... disgust and anger. I cannot fathom these photos being postcards! postcards?? I honestly do not know exactly to say in response to this video, i am speechless and i feel as though all i can do is relish in the anger i feel towards the people who can do such acts to humans regardless of race. I feel a deep sadness towards the victims and their families. I feel disgust towards those in the audience who see lynches as entertainment for the family. The video and the topic of lynching itself causes an array of emotions not easily summarized and described.
