(Atlanta Voice) — After the guns exploded, stunned silence followed as a crowd of onlookers hovered around five slain bodies lying on the ground – including one of an unborn infant and its brutally slain mother. The scene depicted was horrifying, but no blood was shed – this time.
This was a re-enactment of the Moore’s Ford bridge lynching in 1946 – a brutal slaying of black residents that remains unsolved to this day. The Georgia Association of Black Elected Officials has sponsored the re-enactment each year to raise awareness about the killings and seek justice for Roger and Dorothy Malcom, their unborn child, and George and Mae Murray Dorsey.
