Illustration of EJI's report, Reconstruction in America (http://eji.org/reconstruction​). The report documents nearly 2,000 more confirmed racial terror lynchings of Black people by white mobs in America than previously detailed, bringing the total number of confirmed lynchings to 6,500 with thousands more that may never be documented. The report examines the 12 years following the Civil War when lawlessness and violence perpetrated by white leaders created an American future of racial hierarchy, white supremacy, and Jim Crow laws—an era from which our nation has yet to recover.

The Equal Justice Initiative works to end mass incarceration, excessive punishment, and racial inequality.
