#Edward Lang

[whitesinhistory]

On August 19, 1916, a mob of white people in Alachua County, Florida, lynched five Black individuals—Andrew McHenry, Bert Dennis, John Haskins, Mary Dennis, and Stella Young—while a Black man named James Dennis was also killed nearby by a “sheriff’s posse.” On the same day, almost 1,000 miles away in Navarro County, Texas, a mob of 200 white people lynched Edward Lang, a 21-year-old Black man. These incidents of racial terror violence occurred just months before the U.S. entered World War I to fight on behalf of the principles of democracy and freedom.

On August 18, in Jonesville, Florida, a Black man by the name of Boisey Long was accused of murdering the local constable. When Mr. Long went missing, word spread that four Black men—Andrew McHenry, Bert Dennis, James Dennis, and John Haskins—and two Black women—Mary Dennis and Stella Young—had allegedly aided Mr. Long in an escape. On Saturday, August 19, a mob of white people captured Andrew McHenry, Bert Dennis, John Haskins, Mary Dennis, and Stella Young, and lynched them. According to reports, on the same day James Dennis was captured and killed by a “sheriff’s posse.”

As was the case here, and typical of the era, white people sought to maintain white supremacy and dominance by instilling fear in the entire Black community through brutal violence that was often unpredictable and arbitrary. With no reported evidence connecting these men and women to the alleged crime, the white mob’s focus clearly expanded beyond a specific person accused of an offense and instead targeted members of the wider Black community, instilling community-wide fear.

Nearly 1,000 miles away, on the same day, a 21-year-old Black man named Edward Lang was accused of assaulting a young white woman near the town of Rice in Navarro County, Texas. A mob of white people captured Mr. Lang four miles from where the alleged attack took place and handed him over to the sheriff. However, before Mr. Lang could be tried, on that same day, an unmasked and armed mob of 200 white farmers seized Mr. Lang from the jail and hanged him from a telephone pole.

During this era, almost 25% of lynchings involved allegations of inappropriate behavior between a Black man and a white woman that was often characterized as "assault."

Lynchings and racial terror during this era reinforced racial hierarchy and fostered lawlessness and disregard for constitutional guarantees of equal protection. Despite the tragedy of this violence, hundreds of thousands of Black people fought to defend the U.S. when it was threatened during World War I.

Hi....! If you don't mind, can I ask, who are your top 7 favorite romantic relationship's couples in books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series (can be canon or non-canon) and your top 10 favorite characters ever from any media? Why do you love them all? Thanks if you want to answer....

Top seven?... Before SVSSS I wasn't really into ships, if there was a fic with a ship I didn't mind and could enjoy it but I didn't specifically seek out ships.

Most of the dynamics I enjoy I personally don't have a preference for whether they're portrayed as platonic, romantic or some sort of queer platonic, because it's the chemistry between the characters that compels me, not the spark of romance. There are only three ships that I cannot conceive of in a platonic capacity which are:

Hualian (it's HUALIAN, I don't know what to say)

Wangxian (It was never platonic to begin with)

Agathario ("Congratulations my love" "Please my love" NEED I SAY MORE???)

For svsss specifically I can't say there's a ship I prefer over another, they're all incredibly compelling and entertaining, and I don't think there's a ship I dislike.

Bingqiu, Liushen, Jiuyuan, Qijiu, Zhushen etc etc etc are all gorgeous

Sorry, not much of a shipper😅

Favourite characters?

Hmmm

Zhuzhi-lang captured my heart, (loyal snake boy, love himmmmmm so so so so much. We are not talking about the extras because I WILL CRY. I WAS DEVASTATED I AM DEVASTATED FOREVER)

Loki, but specifically the fanon Loki that existed in the Thor to Avengers era, though I've enjoyed all types and did enjoy the show. (Loki fandom was the first fandom I was ever in, and was formative to my young years, and so he's more than earned his spot)

Murderbot (I find MB as a protagonist relatable and so, so, very funny.)

ART (from the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells) (I love the dynamic between ART and MB, it makes me so happy)

Three (Also from the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells)(What's not to like about Three? I feel like I get cuteness aggression whenever Three does something)

Wu Zetian from Xiran Jay Zhao's Iron Widow (iconic)

Edward Elric (the whump is pre installed!)

Greed (From Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)(he's just a cunty little dude who made a gangfamily )

Wei Wuxian (smart, loyal, dedicated etc, Yunmeng trio feels, wen siblings+Wuxian feels all the feels)

And finally.

Shen Qingqiu (which one you may ask? Both. This is a two-for-one) (is he unbearably elegant and cold? Is he a bitch? Is he a nerd? Yes to all these things, and another relatable character)

hope this was satisfactory, thank you for the ask!

Several birds lay this crown upon Scott's head. One bird drops a scroll in Scott's hand, announcing he has a kingdom waiting for him.

“Is this what a Disney Princess feels like?” he wonders to himself as he remains frozen as the birds rest the crown on his head. It’s a perfect fit. “Woah…”

He slowly opens the scroll and reads aloud, “To His Royal Highness Scott Edward Harris Lang, first of his name, long may he reign. It is with our greatest joy and honor to inform you that we, your loyal subjects, await your return with expectant hope. Please, Your Grace, make haste at once, for we are in dire need of your excellent leadership and wisdom…”

Scott continues to read the letter, silently now since he’s a little too overwhelmed to speak.

Finally he looks up from it and wonders which of his friends are pulling a prank this big on him. “What the heck is going on?”
