Minnesota may pardon black man in 1920 case that led to lynchings
The Minnesota Board of Pardons on Friday granted the state's first posthumous pardon to a man convicted over a white woman's false rape claim that led to lynchings a century ago, CBS Minnesota reports. The pardon comes three days before the 100-anniversary of the Duluth lynchings, a dark stain on Minnesota's history.
Mason was denied parole six times between 1922 and 1925, according to the pardon application. He was released from prison in 1925 on the condition that he not return to Minnesota for the next 16 years. A district attorney several years later questioned the evidence against Mason and said he likely would not have been convicted if he were white.Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, who is on the Board of Pardons, tweeted Thursday that"justice delayed is justice denied.
Tusken said he wasn't aware of his aunt's involvement until his mother told him about it in 2000, a few years after the aunt's death. Tusken said he believed the secrecy was because of his family's shame and a desire to forget about the injustice.
