Like many children living in Atlanta, Georgia in the early twentieth century, thirteen year old Mary Phagan no longer went to school. Instead she regularly worked ten hour days to help put food on her family’s table. Life was tough but the morning of 26th April 1913 Mary awoke excited; it was a holiday and she was looking forward to the parade later that afternoon. First she had to run an errand and collect her pay from the National Pencil Factory where she worked. Mary arrived just after midday but would never leave the factory. Over 12 hours later her murdered body was found in the dingy basement of the factory, triggering a tragic saga that continues to have wide reaching consequences over 100 years later.
