As we mark the beginning of Black History Month, we look at Always in Season<\/em>, a disturbing new documentary that examines lynching in the United States both past and present. It also looks closely at the case of Lennon Lacy, a 17-year-old African-American high school student who, on August 29, 2014, was found hanging from two belts attached to a wooden swing set in a largely white trailer park in Bladenboro, North Carolina. Local authorities quickly determined his death to be a suicide, but Lacy\u2019s family and local civil rights activists feared authorities may have been covering up a lynching. We speak with Lacy\u2019s mother, Claudia Lacy, and Jacqueline Olive, the director of Always in Season<\/em>.<\/p>\n
