Description
This historic marker located on the First Street & Second Ave in Duluth, MINNESOTA (not Georgia) commemorates the lynching in 1920 of three young black circus workers, Elias Clayton, Elmer Jackson and Isaac McGhie for allegedly raping a white woman. They were dragged from a jail beaten mercilessly and hanged by an angry mob from a light pole across from the memorial.
