SUMMARY:Revisiting the Leo Frank Case, with Steve Oney
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\nClick here to register for this free virtual program.\n\nIn 1913, 13-year-old Mary Phagan was found brutally murdered in the basement of the Atlanta pencil factory where she worked. The factory manager, a college-educated Jew named Leo Frank, was arrested, tried, and convicted in a trial that seized national headlines. When the governor commuted his death sentence, Frank was kidnapped and lynched by a group of prominent local citizens.\nSteve Oney, the author of the definitive book on the case, will discuss the the historic events and their implications, from the police investigations to the gripping trial to the brutal lynching and its aftermath.\nSteve Oney is a longtime journalist who worked for many years as a staff writer for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Magazine and Los Angeles magazine. He has also contributed articles to many national publications, including Esquire, The Wall Street Journal, New York magazine, GQ, and The New York Times Magazine. His book And the Dead Shall Rise: The Murder of Mary Phagan and the Lynching of Leo Frank won the American Bar Association’s Silver Gavel Award and the National Jewish Book Award.\nProgram made possible, in part, by Richard and Martha Pastcan, in honor of Larry Burgheimer.\n\n\n\n\n
