Years after his death, Lee Ed Frazier’s daughter, Jan, made a shocking discovery. When he was a young man, her father participated in a lynching. It was an iconic moment because the story and photos were published in Time and Life magazines – the first time actual photos were included in national publications. Those articles supported anti-lynching legislation. Additionally, she realized that no names of the lynchers were ever published. The photographer was even protected by a cloak of anonymity. Shaken by this white privilege and the brutality it sought to minimize, Jan had to sort through the conflicted feelings of love for her father and belief in accountable for harm done.
