1919 Race Riot Will Brown's Grave

Hondo Murray recorded this video on Sat Sept 29, 2018 at the gravesite of William "Will" Brown Mr Brown was buried in "Potters Field" in Forrest Lawn Cemetary in north Omaha, NE. Will Brown was being held in the jail of the Douglas County courthouse, (located at 1701 Farnam St), awaiting trial after being arrested on suspicions of sexual assault on a white woman. A mob of 20,000 rioters lynched Will Brown on the evening of the 28th. It's been 99 years since. NOTE: I (Hondo) accidentally said that it happened in "1999" [00:51) when I meant to say 1919. Also, this video was originally longer but I had to cut the rest of it out because I made a few more errors in recounting the story. I also recommend this YouTube video.
