Seeking Justice II: The Trial of the Norlina 16

Taking place in the same courtroom in which the original trial occurred 101 years ago, the “Seeking Justice II” reenactment chronicles the fate of these 16 men, who have come to be called the Norlina 16.

At the same time, it recounts the story of the lynchings of Plummer Bullock and Alfred Williams, and tells the narrative of Mr. Bullock’s brother Matthew (who was also in that gunfight), who fled to Canada and successfully fought a federal attempt to extradite him back to N.C.

Finally, it offers the first-person stories of some of the women whose husbands, sons, brothers, and lovers were ripped from their families by the lynch mob and the court.
