The Leo Frank case took place in 1913-1915.
This event is important to Georgia's history as it represents a significant moment in the state's racial tensions and the justice system. Leo Frank, a Jewish factory manager in Marietta, Georgia, was wrongfully accused and convicted of the murder of Mary Phagan, a 13-year-old girl who worked at his factory. The case was highly controversial and fueled by anti-Semitic sentiments, ultimately leading to Frank's lynching by a mob after his death sentence was commuted by the governor. This event highlighted the prevalence of anti-Semitism and injustice in the society at that time, and it had a lasting impact on the Jewish community in Georgia and the efforts towards civil rights and equal justice in the state.
