Mob Mentality: The dynamiting of Akron City Hall
Season 1 Episode 149
Akron started the new century off with a bang when, in 1900, a mob intent on lynching a black man accused of rape went to city hall, exchanged gunfire with police, set the block on fire, and leveled the city building with dynamite. Two children were killed in the melee, dozens were jailed for rioting - and the accused was later pardoned for not receiving a fair trial. www.ohiomysteries.com
