Memorial and Soil Collection Ceremony for King Johnson

This Ceremony of Remembrance and Reconciliation is being held to memorialize King Johnson who was lynched in Brooklyn, Maryland on December 25, 1911. Brooklyn was part of Anne Arundel County, MD until the annexation of 1919, when it became part of Baltimore City. The Ceremony will recognize the traumatic lynching of King Johnson. It will include the collection of soil from near the lynching site and reflections from community members and leaders. It will end with a discussion facilitated by members of the Maryland Local Affiliate Groups of Coming to the Table (see https://comingtothetable.org/).
