While JFK was making a White House run in May 1960, a 24-year-old Black Navy vet from Bayonne, New Jersey joined a friend on a road trip home. Little did James Fair, Jr. know how ill-timed his arrival in rural Early County, Georgia would be. Less than three days later, he’d find himself behind bars, convicted for the rape and murder of an 8-year old girl, and facing Georgia’s electric chair. Clennon L. King’s “Fair Game: Surviving A 1960 Georgia Lynching” chronicles the 26-month campaign spearheaded by Alice Fair to rescue her son from a county notorious for lynching. Dedicated to the 24 known Black men who were lynched in Early County, Georgia between 1877 and 1950, the documentary is a tribute to the Boston-based filmmaker’s late father, Atty. C.B. King of Albany, Georgia, who fought to prevent James Fair, Jr. from becoming the 25th victim. Sponsored by the Friends of the Needham Public Library.

The Civil War, also referred to as the War Between the States, began on the morning of April 12, 1861 when Confederate gunners opened fire on Fort Sumter, a Union Fort in Charleston Harbor. Major Anderson surrendered the Fort without a single casualty. It was a bloodless opening to the bloodiest war in American history. This fall, Dr. Hylander will discuss the generalship and strategy of the war, Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, and Lincoln’s thoughts on Reconstruction and the events surrounding his assassination. Also to be considered will be the constitutionality of succession and whether or not the Confederate South had any real chance for victory. This is the third of four lectures, and is sponsored by the Library Foundation of Needham.
