TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL)- Saturday at St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church, members of the community held a meeting about the Tallahassee Community Remembrance Project.
About 60 people attended the informational meeting about the project which hopes to memorialize and remember the four people who were lynched in Leon County between 1897 and 1937.
Committee Member Byron Greene explains the importance of the project.
"We want to provide an avenue for healing, racial healing, so that we can become closer as a community there is a long history of division between blacks and whites here in America that still seems prevalent today," said Greene.
The project is still in the planning phase and Greene said they are still getting input from the community on what next steps to take.
