Montgomery History
Remembrance Weekend:
“Unwritten Law”: A Symposium on the Lynchings in Rockville
Saturday, September 25 • 9 am - 12:30 pm
Join Montgomery History as three Montgomery County historians provide accounts of the lynchings of Mr. John Diggs-Dorsey (d. 1880) and Mr. Sidney Randolph (d. 1896). This historical analysis will provide background on the economic, social, and political context of Montgomery County in the final decades of the 19th century and explore how elements of these murders were replicated in other parts of Maryland and the United States.
