Every weekend in Lawrenceville, GA, the community enjoys free movies at the downtown square, where in 1911 Charlie Hale was lynched in broad daylight. Few people today seem to remember the killing. In a souvenir photo postcard taken after Hale’s death, crowds of white men, hound dogs and young boys surround the dead corpse; a sign attached to his toes reads, “Please do not wake him.” In 1993, a local Sons of Confederate Veterans group erected a monument on the square to memorialize the Confederate dead; the inscription reads, “Lest We Forget.” "The public square is where we tell the story of ourselves. The statues and monuments we place there suggest who we were and who we wish to be,” writes Sherrilyn Ifill, President and Director-Counsel of the @naacp_ldf. "But what we choose not to put there is equally revealing. The lack of lynching memorials in our public spaces speaks volumes about our enduring fear and paralysis in the face of our past’s darkest chapters.” The story of Charlie Hale’s death can be heard on a walking tour, which adapted the events and includes a stop at the jail, every night in October for $15. Cynthia Rintye, the director of Lawrenceville Ghost Tours, seen in the second photo, visits the old county jail in Lawrenceville, Ga., which is believed to be where Charlie Hale was detained before his lynching.
