Donors pledge to replace Delaware’s stolen lynching memorial
WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Private donors have pledged to replace a memorial plaque dedicated to a lynching victim that was stolen in Delaware.
The Delaware News Journal reports Delaware State University official Steven Newton said the school would donate funds to help replace the marker.
A person last week noticed the marker to commemorate the lynching of George White was missing. White, a black man, was accused of raping and killing a white woman. A mob lynched him in 1903.
