Maryland Lynching Project Public Meeting

The Maryland Lynching Memorial Project will hold a public meeting for Frederick County, Md., on April 13 at Lincoln Elementary School. There were at least 6,500 lynchings in the United States between 1865 and 1950, and of that number, at least 38 were in Maryland. In Frederick County, three documented lynchings took place, and the victims were James Carroll (1879), John Biggus (1887), and James Bowens (1895).To learn more about this project, we invite you to attend.
