They Killed Her… Then Cleared Her Name 60 Years Later Lena Baker was the only woman ever executed in Georgia’s electric chair. Her crime? Defending herself from a white man who enslaved and assaulted her. In 2005—60 years after her death—the state admitted she was innocent. Why do we only get vindicated after we’re dead? #LenaBaker #BlackHistory #JusticeForLena #UnlockYourMindInfinite #JimCrowJustice #TruthTellers #HiddenHistory #WomensHistory #BlackWomenMatter #SystemicInjustice #HistoryTheyDon

Tipping the scales of justice over 70 years later: Lena Baker’s story still being told

Today in Black Women’s History I researched Lena Baker. This is the most frustrating story I’ve ever researched that man and his son ABUSED HER and trapped her when all she was trying to do was help make money for her children and instead of the justice system you know helping her they ended her life.•• #TalkingPoint #ProtectBlackWomenAtAllCosts #stutteringawareness #historynerd #explorepage #nflhighlights #NCAAWBB #NationalLibraryWeek | Black Woman's History

Can you pick the moment I finally got to let them in on the surprise 😅🫣?! The boys originally knew that we were trying to make this happen. As we got closer I just couldn’t see how we were going to do it. Then, a week before we would have to leave, flights came up that we could fit in our budget. We didn’t book accommodation or anything other than travel insurance, the visas and our flights until we were on the trip. * we are home from the trip now ♥️

Georgia Executed A Black Woman For Self-Defense Then Apologized 60 Years Later In 1945, Georgia executed Lena Baker, a Black domestic worker who killed her white employer in self-defense after he kidnapped, raped and threatened to kill her. An all-white jury sentenced her to death in one day. 60 years later, Georgia issued a posthumous pardon, admitting she should never have been executed. #lenabaker #georgia #jimcrow #injustice #self #defense #execution #posthumous #pardon #civil #rights" Hasht
