Happened in Florida in 1944.
calendar.eji.org
On January 2, 1944, 15-year-old Willie James Howard, a Black boy, was kidnapped and lynched by three white men in Suwannee County, Florida, after being accused of sending a love note to the daughter of one of the men.
During Christmas 1943, Willie Howard sent cards to all of his co-workers at the Van Priest Dime Store in Live Oak, Florida. Unlike the other cards, Willie’s card to Cynthia Goff, a white store employee, revealed a youthful crush. His greeting expressed hope that white people would someday like Black people and concluded: “I love your name. I love your voice. For a S.H. [sweetheart] you are my choice.”
