Was the process of documenting lynching instances (by Wells-Barnett and Monroe Work) a form of resistance?

Documenting lynchings, as Wells-Barnett, Work, and other writers and journalists did in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, was indeed a form of resistance, and a powerful form at that. Lynching reached epidemic proportions in the early twentieth century, especially in the South, where the practice was used to buttress the cultural, social, and legal systems collectively known as Jim Crow.
Hundreds of men and women, mostly black, were publicly executed, often in gruesome and brutal ways. Though these acts were often public, Wells-Barnett and Work both documented them as a means of calling the nation's attention to what was a horrific practice. Indeed, Wells-Barnett was motivated to write against lynching after a personal friend was killed in her native Memphis in 1892. Whites in Memphis responded to her work by threatening to lynch her as well, and she left for New York, where she continued to write accounts of Southern lynchings. In Southern Horrors, a collection of many of these accounts, she argued forcefully that the justification often given for lynchings—that black men were raping white women—was a "thread-bare lie" and that often white women engaged in consensual relationships with black men. Her work was part of a broader effort of advocacy for African Americans that included leadership of the National Association of Colored Women, protest of discriminatory hiring practices, and other causes.
Monroe Work, a professor at Tuskegee Institute, also resisted lynching by documenting it. He published quantitative data showing how widespread the practice was, data that is still seen as reliable by historians today. Like Wells-Barnett, he attempted to bring the practice into the public eye, where he hoped it would be condemned. One goal of both writers—to secure passage of a federal anti-lynching law—never came to pass, however.
