Liberating Futures: 1921 Descendant Stories

The Liberating Futures “Descendants Stories” panel challenges this erasure, by bringing together a group of family members who have kept these stories alive. Members of both the Bullock and Williams families will be joined by descendants of those other 16 men, and of other victims of racial violence in the county.

Together, they’ll discuss the ongoing impact of the trauma in their families’ lives, and offer their thoughts about the possibility of reckoning and repair.

PANELISTS:
JAMES ANDREWS
Family of Henry Andrews

REV. DR. MACEO FREEMAN
Family of Alfred Williams

OCTAVIO JONES
Family of Plummer Bullock

DIANA OWENS
Family of Plummer Bullock

SANDRA WILLIAMS
Family of James and Jerome Hunter; also Alfred Williams

MODERATOR:
TAMMY EVANS
