New play ‘The Last Lynching’ chronicles largest lynching trial in US history

The trial drew international and national attention. Then-Gov. Strom Thurmond jumped into the case, along with J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI.

Robin Waggoner wrote most of the play about the life of the Ashland woman who started the American Folk Festival in 1930.

Playwright Lisa Soland discusses the Walker Sisters, last inhabitants of what was to become the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
