The Palm Beach County Remembrance Project Coalition will host a soil collection ceremony to remember Samuel Nelson, who was charged with attempted criminal assault of a white woman in Miami. The next morning, the steel door of his cell was battered open, and Nelson’s body was found, riddled with bullets, next to a canal west of Delray Beach. His 1926 murder was labeled a lynching. The soil collected near the site of his body’s location will be displayed at the Equal Justice Initiative’s National Memorial for Justice and Peace.
