Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The steady and successful appeals by Simuel D. McGill for the Pompano Boys led to a backlash among the white citizens of Broward County, who were incensed that the migrant workers were not executed. Whites’ anger led to the retributive 1935 lynching of an African American laborer in Fort Lauderdale. Members of the sheriff’s office were said to be part of the lynching party. The chapter argues that such reprisal tactics were frequent in the South, as an expression of outrage by white citizens who took over from the formal justice system and who sought to ensure that the racial hierarchy would stay in place.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
