The City of Watkinsville and Oconee County will unveil a memorial plaque at 2 p.m. on June 29 at the Oconee County Courthouse in Watkinsville recognizing the nine victims of the 1905 lynching on that site.
That date is the 120th anniversary of the lynching, which left eight of the men dead and one wounded in the area behind what is now the Courthouse.
