Why "African American"?

[edit]

Why is this category under Category:African American history of Washington (state) when none of the victims of these lynchings were African American? (In one case--the lynching of Guglielmo Olivotto--several African Americans were falsely convicted as the perpetrators of the lynchings. I could see having a category for that one event and possibly considering it part of Category:African American history of Washington (state), but as far as I can see the rest of this has nothing to do with African Americans. - Jmabel ! talk 03:02, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
