abstract="Research shows enduring impacts of lynching on a variety of modern outcomes. For instance, Messner, Baller, and Zevenbergen found that lynching is associated with contemporary white-on-black homicide. We propose a model describing how events from the past can have effects on events in the present. Essential to our framework is the notion of social forces of &quot;resistance&quot; that can impede or facilitate the temporal transmission of collective memories. We test &quot;indicators of resistance&quot; that influence the transmission of a collective memory supportive of a &quot;legacy of lynching.&quot; Analyses reveal that the positive and significant association between lynching and white-on-black homicide observed by Messner et al. is attenuated and becomes statistically nonsignificant with the inclusion of these indicators. Our results suggest that the temporal transmission of a racist cultural schema manifested through lynching is more likely where resistance is low. These findings have implications for how researchers can study historical legacies.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
