ANNAPOLIS, Sept. 7, 2019 — Saturday morning the first Equal Justice Initiative<\/a> historical marker in Maryland was unveiled at Whitmore Park. The marker, part of the remembrance and reconciliation project, acknowledged five lynchings in the capital city. The names of the African-American men were: John Sims, George Briscoe, Wright Smith, Henry Davis, and King Johnson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unveiling in the center of Annapolis took place on Calvert Street across from the former site of the Anne Arundel County Jail. On Dec. 21, 1906 Henry Davis <\/a>was forcibly removed from the jail by a mob, dragged through the streets, and lynched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the ceremony, everyone was invited to the Asbury United Methodist Church for refreshments and a discussion about equal justice. Connecting the Dots Anne Arundel County <\/a>in partnership with the Equal Justice Initiative, the Maryland Lynching Memorial Project,<\/a> and others worked to make this reme<\/g>barance possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this beautiful Saturday in late summer, a large group, some 250 to 300 people, from various groups and the community came together for remembrance and reflection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
