Mention of the Day (MOTD)
Aug 10, 2021
strangefruit, strangefruitmotd, eji

This Strange Fruit Mention of the Day comes from our friends at the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI): “On July 17, the Tallahassee Community Remembrance Project gathered with EJI and community members in Cascades Park, under the oak tree at the corner of East Gaines and South Meridian Streets, to dedicate a historical marker in remembrance of Ernest Ponder, Richard Hawkins, Mick Morris, and Pierce Taylor, Black victims of racial terror violence in Leon County, Florida. Although weather forced the ceremony indoors, hundreds of people were still able to participate in the program. Byron Greene, one of the coalition co-conveners, opened the ceremony with a welcome followed by a prayer from the Rev. Abigail Moon. Takeisha Stokes performed a moving rendition of ‘Strange Fruit.’”
