St. Cloud Times — St. Cloud State University professor Barry Schreiber has long used the book “The Lynchings in Duluth” for his criminal justice classes.
The book by Duluth native Michael Fedo shares a horrific chapter in his hometown’s history.
The relatively little-known case — despite critical acclaim for Fedo’s book — is about to get more exposure. St. Cloud State University’s KVSC 88.1 FM will air a docudrama Sunday called”Trial by Mob: The Duluth Lynchings.” Fedo wrote the script for the hourlong program.
About 15 actors — students, community volunteers and professionals — took part in the project, KVSC station manager Jo McMullen-Boyer said. Students also edited sound clips and are helping with promotion.
