ROSWELL, Ga. â In 1936, a White couple filed a complaint against a Black man to the police, claiming he kissed the wifeâs hand after making repairs in their apartment. It was later reported that Mack Henry Brown was abducted and missing for a month. His body was found Dec. 23, 1936, in the Chattahoochee River in what is now Roswellâs Riverside Park.
Brown was one of 36 documented lynching victims in Fulton County between 1877 and 1936.
The Fulton County Remembrance Coalition started the Community Remembrance Project to recognize lynching victims by collecting soil from lynching sites and building historical markers. The organization unveiled a historical marker for Mack Henry Brown Feb. 22 at Riverside Park near the mouth of Big Creek.
