July 1900 CE
The events in New Orleans receive national coverage and had ramifications beyond the state.
Lillian Jewett, a young white member of the Anti-Lynching League, is fundraising at a Boston, Massachusetts meeting hours after Charles' death to raise money for the injured in New Orleans.
The Louisiana Times Picayune reports "Insane Ravings at a Boston Meeting".
The Green Turtles, formed by a group of wealthy young white men from New Orleans the previous year, requires an "oath of allegiance to white supremacy and the Democratic Party."
Because of this group's subsequent threats on Jewett's life, she will not travel further South than Richmond, Virginia.
