Silence in Sikeston | Witnesses to a Lynching
Carleen Harrington and Mable Cook were only girls growing up in Sikeston, Missouri when Cleo Wright was lynched by a white mob in front of the Black community. The violence of that 1942 day haunted these two young residents, and the small city, for decades leaving them silent to the situation. Now, they are sharing how the experience affected them.
