47abc May 23, 2021   SALISBURY, Md. – A spot where a controversial plaque dedicated to the memory of a Confederate General once stood, and the place where violent racial lynching’s took place is now home to a much different type of remembrance. Over 90 years ago next to the Wicomico County Courthouse, a black man was lynched. On Saturday, his life and the life of the other victims of lynching in Salisbury were memorialized in a ceremony. Community members, county officials, family members and activists gathered at Tidalhealth Saturday afternoon. They began their walk on the same path some of the victims took, as they were dragged to their violent deaths. However, descendants of the lynching victims tell us, this is more than just a horrific event being memorialized. “It is healing to see the community come together, all races all ages to acknowledge what happened,” says Jeannie Jones, a descendant of lynching victim Matthew Williams.
