Jesse Washington was a seventeen-year-old African American farmhand who was lynched in the county seat of Waco, Texas, on May 15, 1916, in what became a well-known example of lynching. Some people have claimed that Washington may have had Native American ancestry, but this has not been widely documented in historical records.
