Lynching of Levi Harrington 1882-04-03
Levi Harrington (d. April 3, 1882) was a young African-American who, on April 3, 1882, was abducted from police custody by a large white mob of several hundred participants and lynched in Kansas City, Missouri, hanged from a beam on the Bluff Street Bridge and shot.[1][2] This followed the fatal shooting of a police officer, Patrick Jones, earlier that day.[3] The next day another man, George Grant, was accused of the crime, and Harrington was declared innocent. However, the evidence against Grant was so weak that he was reportedly tried and acquitted three times and accepted a 2-year prison sentence in a plea bargain on the fourth trial.[2]
There were reports at the time that the accusations against Levi Harrington were not befitting his character, as a husband and father to five children living near Kansas City.[2] The plaque commemorating his death described Mr Harrington as being "sober and industrious, saved his money, and cared for his family".[1]
Levi Harrington was one of at least 60 African Americans victims of racial terror lynching killed in Missouri between 1877 and 1950.[4][5]
Another man, George Grant, was captured the same night the lynching took place and charged with the murder of the police officer. In 1884, after hung juries in four separate trials, Grant pleaded guilty to manslaughter and served two years prison before being released. Meanwhile no one was charged with the murder of Harrington, in spite of having hundreds of witnesses including the officers who were overpowered by the mob.[6]
