On Sept. 25 from 2-4 p.m. Oxford will remember the 7 known victims to lynching in Lafayette Co., MS. The event on the public square on Sept. 25 will include raising a marker on the lawn of the courthouse with the names of the seven African American men lynched by white mobs. The public is invited to this historic event.
The Sunday Service at UUCO on Aug. 15 will acknowledge the importance of truth telling in our public lives and will name the importance of public memorials as a step in telling the truth of our history. We will tell some of what it has taken to get to this place. Content warning: we will be talking about the violence done to these men. The Lafayette Count Remembrance Project has been partnering with the Equal Justice Initiative to create this memorialization.
UUCO is a welcoming congregation and we invite you to join us online for services this Sunday at 11 am. However, due to security concerns we are unable to publish the link to the service. Contact Sandra Moss at [email protected] to have the link sent to you. Please request link before Sunday.
