description: In this lecture, James Farmer continues the story [Lecture 7] of the march in Plaquemine, LA and his escape from a lynch mob that included state troopers. He explains how he barely escaped from the mob in a funeral hearse that got him past the roadblocks to New Orleans. He returned to Plaquemine the next day to turn himself into the local authorities; however, there was no warrant for his arrest. Farmer learned from sources that the state troopers had intended to beat him bloody that night and let the mob kill him.
