The racial terror lynching that occurred in 1933 is not widely known by the community of St. Joseph. (What does racial terror lynching mean?) The story of Lloyd Warner’s life and death has not been passed on to the following generations, and it is our mission to make sure that St. Joseph remembers and memorializes his life. It is important to have a public recognition of this time in American history, and to start the conversations of how far we have come, and how far we still have to go to achieve racial justice in our nation.
