Photo Shows American Lynching Victim, Not South African Activist

Circulating on social media is a post about South African activist and freedom fighter Solomon Kalushi Mahlangu. “BEFORE HE WAS HANGED,” the post reads, “S. Africa's Solomon Kalushi Mahlangu said; ‘My blood will nourish the tree that will bear the fruits of freedom. Tell my people that I love them. They must continue the fight, Aluta Continua.’” Accompanying the quote is a black and white photo that shows a black man with a noose around his neck, surrounded by white law enforcement officials.
