Who is Thomas Moss as noted in the nonfiction book, When and Where I Enter: The Impact of Black Women on Race and Sex in America?

Thomas Moss was hung in Memphis, Tennessee. He was a successful businessman, and it is reportedly his success that prompted the lynching of Moss and his business partners, Calvin McDowell and Henry Stewart, owners of the People's Grocery. Mass, shortly before being hanged, left a message for "my people," urging that they "go west" because there is obviously no justice in Memphis.
