A Conversation with Steve Oney, author of And the Dead Shall Rise: The Murder of Mary Phagan and the Lynching of Leo Frank. In 1913, 13-year-old Mary Phagan was found brutally murdered in the basement of the Atlanta pencil factory where she worked. The factory manager, a Jewish man named Leo Frank, was arrested, tried, and convicted in a trial that seized national headlines. When the governor commuted his death sentence, Frank was kidnapped and lynched by a group of prominent local citizens. This event shaped the development of the Anti-Defamation League and spurred the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan. We will delve into the story with Steve Oney whose acclaimed account includes in depth detail and research, and a Dickensian pageant of characters.
