Virtual Church Members Q+A
UCCRP will host a Church Q&A for Pastors and congregations that may have a direct connection to the Black men lynched in Union County, SC. The UCCRP is interested in any oral histories passed down within the Church. We believe these stories are a crucial part of our historic research and would be happy to assist with archiving these stories for future generations.
Virtual Descendant Q + A Session
Are you descended from one of the Black men who were lynched or their families? Are you descended from the families of Black leaders and legislatures during Reconstruction, such as Junius Mobley, Samuel Nuckles, or Monroe C. Long? Were your ancestors part of the Black community in Union County at the time of the lynchings? Do you have knowledge or recollections of these lynchings passed down through your family?
We invite you to join us for a Descendant Q + A session where you can meet our leadership, find out more about the UCCRP, and ask questions about your family history or local Union history. See event on Facebook.
