Take a Knee for Justice -- Sunday, May 31, 2020


May 31, 2020

To the friends of the Maryland Lynching Memorial Project:

The Maryland Lynching Memorial Project (MD LMP) is organizing a brief, silent and peaceful gathering in Towson today, Sunday, May 31, 2020 at 3.00p to demonstrate our solidarity with George Floyd and other black victims of racial terror.

At 3.00p sharp, we will ask all who have gathered to “take a knee” and remain kneeling for 9 minutes, which represents the amount of time former Officer Derek Chauvin applied lethal force to the neck of Mr. Floyd. The program will conclude at the end of the nine minutes.

We ask all who wish to attend this action to wear a face mask and observe social distancing guidelines out of consideration for your neighbors. Also, any signs must be hand-held ONLY!

A flyer with additional details is attached to this message.

Thanks for your consideration.

Best,
Will
