2.) Well a “group” of people is 3–4, which is viewed as being able to act in a coordinated fashion, but any bigger it starts to unravel the control of such a group. So I guess 5 people could make up a small crowd, thus a mob.

The difference between Crowd and Mob. When used as nouns, crowd means a group of people congregated or collected into a close body without order, whereas mob means a large or disorderly group of people.

They hang like coffins, more than 800 steel plates suspended from the ceiling, each representing a county in the United States where a lynching took place. Engraved on the broad face of each plate are the names of the victims and the days they were lynched:

“Benjamin Hart, 05.08.1887,” “Maggie House, 12.21.1918,” “Unknown, 11.20.1899.” Some plates contain dozens of names.

At the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Ala., more than 4,000 victims of racist terrorism are remembered over the heads of visitors.

JAMES BYRD, JR. (1949-1998)

James Byrd, Jr. is considered one of the last lynching victims in the United States. On the morning of June 7, 1998, 49-year-old Byrd left his parents’ residence and was walking home alone along Huff Creek Road in Jasper, Texas.  He was approached by three white men, John William King, Lawrence Russell Brewer, and Shawn Allen Berry, who offered him a ride home.  Byrd accepted.  The men then drove their unsuspecting passenger to a remote area and then beat and urinated on him.  They tied him by his ankles to the back of a pickup truck using log chains and dragged him until he died and his body was dismembered.  Portions of his corpse were found dispersed in seventy-five different spots along the two-mile stretch of country road that the men traveled.  Byrd’s torso was located approximately one mile from his head.  The trio left what body parts remained affixed to the truck at a black cemetery before heading to eat.  Law enforcement agents used finger prints to determine Byrd’s identity.  The gruesome nature of Byrd’s death captured national attention and demonstrated that racialized violence in America was not a relic of a Jim Crow past.
