On March 14, 1891 one of the largest public lynching in American history took place in New Orleans. A large group of people invaded a prison and publicly murdered 11 out of 19 Italian Americans after 6 of them were exonerated for their crimes in a court of law. This lynching occured due to distrust/tensions held by the general public towards Italian's and their association with the mafia.
