The Romey Lynchings tells the story of the deaths of Nou’la and Hasna Romey in Lake City, Florida, in 1929. N’oula Romey was the fourth victim of racial terror that year in Florida and one of 10 people who were lynched by white mobs across the U.S. in 1929 alone. Just hours before, his wife, Hasna (Fannie) Rahme, was fatally shot by Lake City police in the couple’s store.
