Public planning of lynchings in the South often involved communities organizing events where individuals, typically African Americans, were violently executed by mobs, often with the complicity of law enforcement. These events were frequently advertised in local newspapers and attended by large crowds, reflecting systemic racism and a culture of terror.

There was some fear that lynching would increase and expand outside of Dixie, but after 1935, the number of lynching decreased and an average of 6 persons per year were lynched between 1936 and 1940.http://www.novelguide.com/a/discover/egd_02/egd_02_00338.html
