"Searching through America's past for the last 25 years, collector James Allen uncovered an extraordinary visual legacy: photographs and postcards taken as souvenirs at lynchings throughout America. These photographs have been published as a book "Without Sanctuary." Please be aware before entering the site that much of the material is very disturbing. We welcome your comments and input through the forum section."
