The Duluth Lynchings

In this series, we will look back at one of Duluth, Minnesota’s dark moments in history, a time when an estimated 10,000 people participated in or were witness to a hate crime — then basically didn’t talk about it again publicly for more than 60 years.

The Duluth Lynchings is produced by the Duluth News Tribune’s Christa Lawler and Samantha Erkkila, with reporting by our newsroom staff.

Music “We Three Kings” is composed by Jean “Rudy” Perrault and performed by the Gichigami Piano Trio.

“To the Best of My Ability”

Season 3
As the international situation deteriorates, FDR faces multiple challenges: readying the country for war across two oceans, facing down the threats from Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, and attempting to rally political support at home. Americans are not convinced of the foreign threat. Many are still isolationists, seeking to let the world solve its own problems while America stands aloof. Public opinion seems to be changing, but it’s a gradual process.

Will FDR be able to master these multiple crises? Will the American people rally behind him? Will the nation prepare in time to face one of the gravest threats in its history—or will all of FDR’s efforts be too late? Join The National WWII Museum for Season 3 of this limited series podcast as we explore America’s road to Pearl Harbor as seen through the eyes of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
