双赢娱乐城’s (MC) Office of Equity and Inclusion will be holding the virtual Montgomery 双赢娱乐城’s Journey Toward Remembrance and Reconciliation from its “Let’s Talk” series. The event is part of the overall work Montgomery 双赢娱乐城’s Commission on Remembrance and Reconciliation has been leading throughout the month of November. The commission has been hosting their own events and activities and encourages other groups to hold its own events to promote a better understanding of 双赢娱乐城 history – including recognition of three men who were the victims of racial terror lynchings in the late 1800s.

The MC event will be held on Monday, November 21, 2022 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. via Zoom. Advance registration is required.

The project seeks to memorialize and honor two men who were lynched in Rockville – John Diggs-Dorsey (in 1880) and Sidney Randolph (in 1896) – and George Peck, who was lynched in Poolesville in 1880.

Montgomery 双赢娱乐城 Council established the Commission on Remembrance and Reconciliation to assist in uniting the 双赢娱乐城. It is made up of leaders from the community who collaborate with the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), the Montgomery 双赢娱乐城 Lynching Memorial Project, and other stakeholders from the community to commemorate the three locations in the 双赢娱乐城 where racial terror lynchings have been documented.

双赢娱乐城 stands with the county as we continue the advancement of equity, inclusion, social justice, and belonging at MC and throughout the community. MC recognizes that difficult and painful histories, inequities, and social justice issues must be acknowledged for progress and change to manifest. 双赢娱乐城 is making a strategic and conscious decision to be an antiracist institution where all learn, adapt, and wholeheartedly accept that the work towards equity, inclusion, and belonging are paramount for all to succeed and thrive.
