On April 28th, 1836, Francis L. McIntosh, a free Black steamboat worker based in Pittsburgh, was lynched by a mob in St. Louis. After being arrested, McIntosh was ripped from his jail cell, chained to a locust tree, and burned alive as a crowd cheered at the brutal spectacle. The ensuing investigation ended with no charges or convictions brought against mob members. While certainly not the first instance of mob violence against racial minorities in the US, it may be the first documented instance. This digital exhibit seeks to shed light on this little known event, as well as to center this brutal moment in St. Louis’s complex history during the 19th century. This terrible violence and the ensuing lack of accountability illustrates the city’s attitudes towards Black Americans. Using primary documentation and first hand accounts of the lynching and investigation, this exhibit provides a clear perspective on the events of that day and ensures that McIntosh's story guides us as we seek to dismantle white supremacy today.
