Just to update everyone, our target date for the dedication of the Sarasota Manatee Lynching marker is October/November 2021, hopefully, in person. As soon as we zero in on a specific date, we will send out a “Save the Date.”
In the meantime, we will be sending you regular update on what we are doing.
Also, if you know of people who want to be on this mailing list, please let us know.
We hope you will be able to watch this very interesting discussion on Racial Terror Lynchings which was held virtually by Eckerd College last month. I had the honor of being one of the panelists, representing the Sarasota Community Remembrance Project. The panel discussion explores acts of documented lynchings that need to be exposed, acknowledged and reckoned in support of the ongoing quest for healing and equity in our nation.
