FBI, GBI to participate in Documentary Screening

Special Agent in Charge (SAC) Gregory Jones, FBI Atlanta, and Vernon Keenan, director, Georgia Bureau of Investigation, will participate in a panel discussion of the upcoming documentary, “Murder in Black and White.”

The 45-minute documentary details the murder of two black sharecroppers and their wives at the Moore’s Ford Bridge on July 25, 1946, in what is considered to have been the last mass lynching in American history.

The screening is scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday, March 28, at the Monroe Civic Center, with the panel discussion to immediately follow.

Jones and Keenan will join with area law enforcement executives and community leaders to answer questions and issue statements urging continued public cooperation with the ongoing investigation.
