Remembering Warren Powell, Zeb Long and the lives taken by racist violence in Georgia history

Warren Powell is one of at least 35 African American victims of “racial terror lynching” in Fulton County between 1877 and 1950, according to research by the Equal Justice Initiative. Statewide, the EJI documents 595 lynching motivated by racial animus in that same period. Now, community groups across Georgia are remembering the Black life, like Powell’s, taken by historical acts of racial violence.
