Shortly after, in 1976, the first store outside Scandinavia opened in London. The company was listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange in 1974.

In 1968, Persson acquired the hunting apparel retailer Mauritz Widforss in Stockholm, which led to the inclusion of a menswear collection in the product range, and the name changed to Hennes & Mauritz. The shop, called Hennes (Swedish for 'hers'), exclusively sold women's clothing. The company was founded by Erling Persson in 1947 when he opened his first shop in Västerås, Sweden. H&M was founded by Persson, and its current CEO is Helena Helmersson. H&M is the second largest international clothing retailer. The company has been partially owned by Stefan Persson, a relative of H&M founder Erling Persson since 2011. As of 23 June 2022, H&M Group operated in 75 geographical markets with 4,801 stores under the various company brands, with 107,375 full-time equivalent positions. H&M (an initialism for Hennes & Mauritz) is a multinational clothing company based in Sweden that focuses on fast-fashion clothing for men, women, teenagers, and children.

By tending to the words of these witnesses, Lynched exposes not only a culture of fear and violence but the practice of story and memory, as well as the narrative of hope within a renewed possibility for justice. Revealing the bond between memory and moral formation, Sims discovers the courage and hope inherent in the power of recall. Moreover, Sims unearths the community's truth that this is sometimes a story of words and at other times a story of silence. Through this understanding, she explores how the narrators reconcile their personal and communal memory of lynching with their lived Christian experience. Sims examines the relationship between lynching and the interconnected realities of race, gender, class, and other social fragmentations that ultimately shape a person's - and a community's - religious self-understanding.

Lynched preserves memory even while it provides an analysis of the meaning of those memories. Sims gives voice to the memories of African American elders who remember lynching not only as individual acts but as a culture of violence, domination, and fear.
