Georgia lynching, grave sites and Hard Labor Lake open for tours

After prayer and the singing of gospel hymns, everyone then goes to their vehicle and are escorted by the Walton County Sheriff’s office throughout the area where the events take place. There have been KKK demonstrations in the past that have attempted to disrupt the annual commemoration which is part of the reason for the police escort.
