X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>There are&nbsp\;three&nbsp\;documented cas
 es of lynching&nbsp\;in&nbsp\;Montgomery&nbsp\;County: George Peck and Joh
 n Diggs-Dorsey&nbsp\;in&nbsp\;1880 and Sidney Randolph&nbsp\;in&nbsp\;1896
 .&nbsp\;The&nbsp\;victims were all Black men&nbsp\;in&nbsp\;their twenties
 \, two accused of rape and one accused of murder. Ahead of any legal convi
 ction\,&nbsp\;they were each removed from custody&nbsp\;in&nbsp\;the&nbsp\
 ;middle of&nbsp\;the&nbsp\;night and killed by groups of White men\, havin
 g never received a fair trial. Based on&nbsp\;the&nbsp\;recent compilation
  of hundreds of digitized newspaper accounts\, researcher Sarah Hedlund pr
 esents comprehensive narratives on&nbsp\;these&nbsp\;three&nbsp\;cases. Ea
 ch man&rsquo\;s story is supported by quotes\,&nbsp\;in-person reporting\,
  period maps\, photographs\, and genealogical research\,&nbsp\;in&nbsp\;re
 membrance and recognition of this darker side of&nbsp\;Montgomery&nbsp\;Co
 unty&rsquo\;s history.</p>\n<p>This program is presented by Archivist Sara
 h Hedlund\, from the the Montgomery History Speakers Bureau.&nbsp\;</p>\n<
