Join us next Sunday, September 26th for a Remembrance Pilgrimage Walk and Soil Collection Ceremony for the Montgomery County Lynching Memorial Project. This will be a time to memorialize two young Black men who were lynched in Rockville: Mr. John Diggs-Dorsey in 1880 and Mr. Sidney Randolph in 1896.  Both men were dragged from the county jail by vigilante mobs.  By reckoning with the truth of the racial violence that has shaped our communities, we seek to advance healing and reconciliation.  The Walk is from 12–3 pm.  To register:  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/remembrance-walk-tickets-164524871319?fbclid=IwAR10cJ5fEwO6vwH07MRIOKxJZopswhV1bcA9–aSqS1mMjILfsF7ZKaghfg
