one of the most important exhibitions of our time, also raising questions about the ethics of exhibiting violence in our media culture today

I can't really recommend that anyone look at lynching photographs, but this online exhibit is sensitively and sensibly done, and it provides historical information for over 100 lynching photographs and postcards. The "movie" available on the site is actually a slideshow with a voiceover, and it is worth watching. Be forewarned that the images on this site are gruesome and disturbing, but they are also important artifacts of a historical reality.
