The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews Volume 3

The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, Volume Three: The Leo Frank Case, The Lynching of a Guilty Man is a 536-page study referenced with thousands of footnotes and illustrated with maps, diagrams, and graphics that touch on every aspect of this controversial case. In Atlanta, Georgia, 1913, a Black janitor named James Conley accused a powerful White Jewish leader named Leo Frank of raping and murdering a 13-year-old White girl, Mary Phagan. Frank, in turn, charged Conley with that heinous crime. Never before in a Southern courtroom had a Black man’s word been accepted as evidence against a White man’s, yet the White prosecutor, the White judge, and the all-white jury believed this Black factory sweeper. The Leo Frank case is considered the greatest single act of anti-Semitism in American history—a catastrophic miscarriage of justice that regenerated the Ku Klux Klan, launched the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, and birthed the modern Civil Rights Movement. Before the Leo Frank Affair, White American Jews treated Blacks as their slaves; after the Frank affair, White American Jews claimed they were the Black man’s “best friend.”
