Friday, August 27, 12:00 pm - In partnership with the Prince George’s Lynching Memorial Project’s Community Remembrance Committee, this program supports the outreach efforts to honor Thomas Juricks, a victim of a lynching in Piscataway, Maryland. Omar Eaton Martinez of Parks & Planning and Shemika Berry of the Accokeek Foundation will be part of the panel for this webinar event.
The event will highlight the following:
- Importance of oral history and remembering the trauma of racial terror despite efforts (historical and current) to erase that history.
- Intersectionality of the African American and Native American experiences in Prince George's County.
- Contemporary ways that people are remembering and honoring the victims of racial terror today (such as through Community Remembrance Projects)
