Description:

The Willie Lynch speech is an address purportedly delivered by a certain William Lynch (or Willie Lynch) to an audience on the bank of the James River in Virginia in 1712 regarding control of slaves within the colony. The Making of a Slave is attributed to F. Douglass. Historian Lattoya C. Williams shows why she thinks both are hoaxes indicating diverse elements to support her claim.
