Sha'Ron Cooley McWhite, an Orange County teacher and great-niece to Perry whom she honored during early voting in Orlando by wearing a T-shirt bearing his portrait to the polls, said his prosperity, political efforts and fearlessness probably put him in the crosshairs of the mob (Nathan, D., & Snedeker, M. 2001). "it was a lynched not because did everything wrong, but because he did something right.

Schwartz said that Ocoee was founded in the 1880s by a white man who brought with him 23 enslaved African Americans. Many Confederate soldiers resettled there after the Civil War, employing Black slaves to work their land. Starting in 1888, many of those workers were able to buy from their White bosses the very acres they had been employed on, giving them riches and protection frequently unavailable to Black citizens in the Jim Crow South. Census reports reveal that approximately one-third of the town of 800was black in 1920.

Several anti-suffragists suggested that once women were able to vote, black men might then try to vote. Many suffragists disputed that this might happen, and some also argued that it should be permitted for White women to vote in order to serve as a bulwark against any Black men who could want to exercise their rights.
