Original 1947 AP Wirephoto showing a large crowd gathered at the Carrollton, Georgia courthouse for the murder trial of 20-year-old Eddie Brown, a Black man accused of shooting a white tenant farmer. Georgia State Patrol officers stand guard after a mob of about 300 men had previously stormed the jail in an unsuccessful attempt to seize Brown from police. Caption is separate from the photograph, with both mounted on black archival paper. Came from the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper.
