TCRP Presentation by Professor Jennifer Koslow

Join St. John’s Episcopal Church as we host the community for “They were all from Leon County: The 1911 Lynching in Lake City” a presentation by FSU Professor Jennifer Koslow.

This presentation, held at 3 PM in St. John’s Alfriend Hall, follows the Tallahassee Community Remembrance Project’s first annual remembrance in Cascades Park. Details below. Masks are required in Alfriend Hall and on the St. John’s campus.

Both events are free and open to the public.

In early 2020, the Tallahassee Community Remembrance Project (TCRP), a coalition of 46 local organizations and faith communities, including St. John’s, led a soil collection ceremony at the spot in Cascades Park that would eventually house a narrative marker. The purpose of the marker is to help citizens acknowledge past and present racial violence and injustice, including the four documented victims of lynching in Leon County. The marker, dedicated this past summer, will be the backdrop of TCRP’s first annual remembrance on Saturday, 2/12, at 2 PM at Cascades Park.
