I am trying to determine how many black people in total have been hung until death throughout the entirety of US history.
Please feel free to contribute if you only know the total for a specific and location, but in that case please do specify which place and time to which you are referring.
I have already tried searching in the FAQ under 'Racism & Slavery' but found no such question posed.
Thank you historians!
Edit: I understand reported statistics will not be a complete view and so credible estimations of non-reported hangings/lynchings would be equally appreciated.
Whilst this doesn't account for all of US history, a study by the Tuskegee Institute asserted that 3446 black people were lynched from 1882 to 1968. It's important to note that not all lynchings were recorded, and many deaths may well have gone unnoticed.
edit: in response to the edit, it's really quite hard to estimate something so off-the-record like that, as there are no credible sources for each unreported lynching. I'd advise you to perhaps research murder rates during different time periods and then extrapolation? Very rough estimate, I know, but guessing things like that is pretty hard.
A more recent report from the Equal Justice Institute counted "3959 racial terror lynchings of African Americans in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia between 1877 and 1950"
