Activists seek probe of 1946 lynching
MONROE -- Activists are seeking a new investigation of a 1946 lynching at the Moore's Ford bridge, when a white mob pulled four black sharecroppers from a car near the river's banks and fatally shot them.
Politicians and relatives of the victims plan a rally tonight at the courthouse and a march across the bridge tomorrow. They are urging a local prosecutor to use the FBI's original investigation to seek indictments against the few surviving suspects in the deaths.
District Attorney Ken Wynne says he will not seek indictments unless new evidence is presented.
