The Lynching of 2 Married Couples and their Unborn Babies (Moore's Ford Massacre) Georgia

Moore's Ford Massacre - Walton County, Georgia - July 25, 1946, unsolved Massacre of 2 Married American Negro couples, who were Sharecroppers. Pictured in the 1st photo are Roger Malcolm(24-years-old) and his wife Dorothy Dorsey-Malcom(20-years old), as well as in the 2nd photo George W. Dorsey (28-years-old WWII Military Veteran) and his wife Mae Murray-Dorsey(24-yrs-old). The 4 were murdered by a viscious white mob, in a horrific massacre Both of the women were pregnant (one of whose baby was cut out of her womb), and George and Dorothy were Brother & Sister. There is no Resting in Peace for them due to the towns people and witnesses (many who are still alive as well as some of the Mob members), not wanting to tell the truth, despite many times of the FBI re-opening the case. The four of them were being driven home by a white man named "Loy Harrison", the landlord and employer of the two couples as Sharecroppers, who had just bailed Roger Malcolm out of jail, after Roger allegedly got arrested for arguing with another white farmer, days earlier. It all began when Loy Harrison claimed his car was ambushed a Mob of other white people. Loy Harris, who was left untouched during the massacre, stated those in the Mob were strangers to him and that "A tall, dignified looking man of about 65, wearing a broad-brimmed hat” led the mob to his car. “The leader looked like a regular businessman,” said Loy Harrison, who himself, was an early suspect in the killings, and claimed being innocent for years. First, the Mob pulled Roger Malcolm from the car and said, “We want that Ni**er,” Harrison said. Next, a member of the Mob pointed at George and said “We want you, too, Charlie’,” Harrison recalled. Harrison, realizing they had identified the wrong Dorsey, replied “That’s not Charlie. That’s George.” An armed man with a gun prodded Harrison, who alleges he was warned: “Keep your damned mouth shut. This ain’t your party.” The mob took both the women to a big oak tree and tied them beside where they had also tied their husbands. Roger had a rope around his neck, but was not hung. The coroner's estimate counted 60 shots fired at close range into the four of them, by the Mob. Their shootings took place near Moore's Ford Bridge spanning the Apalachee River, 60 miles (97 km) east of Atlanta. One man from the mob cut the 7-month fetus from Dorothy's (wearing the red coat) belly with a knife and it has been rumored that he stomped it. It is not known if he cut it out while the 2 couples were alive or after their murders. Mae (in the pink dress) was also pregnant but it probably wasn't obvious to them, as she was only 3 months along. The massacre resulted in 6 murders, including the two unborn babies. White children who had been playing near the bridge, said they witnessed the massacre, while hiding from the Mob's view, told of how they saw the smoke wafting from the four bodies. One took a tooth as a souvenir. The murders were said to be committed on Moore's Ford Bridge in Walton and Oconee counties between Monroe and Watkinsville, and they are often referred to as the Moore's Ford lynchings. But the four victims were shot and killed on a dirt road in Walton County near the bridge. “It’s mind boggling that all of these years, not a single person has been arrested — even though we 'still' see them in our communities; even though we know who they are,” said Tyrone Brooks, who helps organize the yearly reenactment of the massacre. “It’s a stain on their history, but it’s a burden on our souls.” According to FBI files obtained by NBC News, more than 50 men, from Monroe and the surrounding counties were suspected in the lynching, but not one was ever prosecuted. In April 1946, a Supreme Court ruling enabled black citizens in Georgia to cast ballots for the first time during the primary race later that summer. Loy Harrison (the one who was driving them home), a prominent white landowner, set them up and ordered the murders,” one FBI report concluded. It was also noted that the path he drove them, was not the usual route going home. The FBI tossed out a concocted story that was made up and rehearsed, that Roger had been arrested for stabbing a white man who he thought had an affair with his wife. “It is also apparent that there was a conspiracy among state and local law enforcement, who not only took part in the murders, disposed of evidence and concealed the identity of witnesses.”
