The Romey Lynchings
2023-04-18
In the early morning hours of Friday, May 17th, 1929, a Lebanese immigrant was lynched in Lake City, Florida.
N'oula Romey was the fourth victim of racial terror that year in Florida, and one of ten people who were lynched by white mobs across the US in 1929 alone. He and his wife's tragic murders were not an isolated incident, but a part, and the culmination, of a widespread pattern of racially-motivated hostility, vitriol and physical abuse directed at early Arab immigrants who came to, worked, and lived in America between the 1890s and the 1930s.
