Zion Christian Cemetery, 1426 S. Parkway
E., was the setting (March 23) for the unveiling
of an historic marker in memory
of Memphis business partners Thomas
Moss, Calvin McDowell and William Stewart,
who were lynched in 1892 several days
after racist intruders descended upon their
store, The People’s Grocery. The National
Park Service marker was placed at the
grave of Moss in keeping with the movement
to document the history of lynching
in the U.S. (Photo: Tyrone P. Easley)
