The National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama, contains monuments for 800 counties and more than 4,000 African American lynching victims. Guilford County’s monument names Eugene Hairston, a 17-year-old from Kernersville, lynched near Greensboro in 1887. GHM Education Curator Rodney Dawson speaks with Theresa Hammond and Allison Spooner, volunteers with the Guilford County Remembrance Project Coalition who are investigating Hairston’s story.
