Abraham Cross Timeline and Summary

The first we hear of Abraham is when his name is written on a piece of paper and given to Ben to look up when he gets to Eudora. He will be able to help Ben with the lynching situation down South.
Ben decides to track down Abraham Cross, and he meets the guy down in the Quarter.
Abraham takes Ben to several lynching sites and explains what's happening around town. It turns out things are a lot worse than Ben imagined.
When he tries to stand up for the Black people in town, Ben is attacked and lynched himself. He almost dies, but Abraham and his family nurse Ben back to health. Because of course they do.
When Ben hears that Abraham's family is in trouble, he and L.J. head over there to protect them, too.
Things go from bad to worse when the White Raiders show up, guns in hand. There's a scuffle and two people die.
Abraham testifies in court about what happened that day. His testimony is good, but it doesn't stop then men from getting away with murder. Again.
Ben is frustrated, and he decides to make a big statement to the whole town. He visits Abraham one last time before his old, sick friend dies.
Abraham tells him that he did "just fine" on the case.
