Below the image, "The lynching of negroes, - the basest and most abominable form of expression of race hatred, has thrived under the Christian religion which exploits and is man-hating through and through. For the bourgeoisie and the clergy lynching is the highest expression of culture and Christian morals, an act pleasing in the sight of God."
