Abstract

We've just published a new essay on our journal Study the South. Karlos K. Hill's essay, published May 11, explores the near lynching of Robert Johnson's stepfather, Charles Dodds, the influence that event may have had on Johnson and his music, the horrors of spectacle lynching in the late 19th and early 20th century South, and grassroots responses to this violence.
