Dedicating a new Historical Marker to Warren Powell
The City of East Point partnered with FCRC to hold a soil collection ceremony. The mayor of East Point spoke and the ceremony was accompanied by a Challenge the Stats violinist. The soil is now on display in the City of East Point Municipal Building
FCRC collected soil from a near by park where it was suggested Warren Powell was hung. We gathered at First Baptist Church in East Point and walked as a group to a open lot on Main Street for the ceremony.
