On July 25, 1946, a Walton County mob lynched four local black citizens -- Dorothy Dorsey Malcom and her brother, George Dorsey; Mae Murry Dorsey, wife of George Dorsey; and Dorothy Dorsey Malcom's husband, Roger Malcom -- in a secluded area known as Moore's Ford. The killers have never been named and efforts continue to bring justice to the family members of those murdered. Here is the Moore's Ford bridge, site of the 1946 lynching, as it looked in 1991. A concrete bridge now spans the Apalachee River.
