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
