Warning: What you're abiyt ti gear is a true story, told by the suvivor of a violent and horrisying  attack. You need to know that some of the descriptions are graphic, some of the words used are offensive.  James Cameron was born in 1914 in LaCrosse, Wisconsin.  When he was a child, his family moved to Marion, Indiana. It was there, in the summer of 1930, that James Camero survived a lynching attempt. He was a suspect in a robbery-and-murder case in Marion, Indiana along with two older teenagers.  Both of them were lynched, and died. Cameron was to be the third victim of the Ku Klux Klan-led mob. They tied a noose around Cameron's neck, and death appered imminent.  But just as he was about to be hanged, a mysterious female voice was heard, saying Cameron was innocent.   A star local football player then stepped up, removed the noose and saved Cameron.
