All music is "Used by Permission"., CCLI Streaming Plus License #21527714, CCLI Copyright License #2006202. A pardon is not enough. Charles Greenlee, Walter Irvin, Samuel Shepherd, and Ernest Thomas – wrongly accused of raping a white woman in a 1949 case defended by then-NAACP attorney Thurgood Marshall – were finally pardoned by Florida’s governor in 2019. The pardon came seven years after the publication of Gilbert King’s book Devil in the Grove about the infamous miscarriage of justice against these men in Lake County, Florida. But a pardon is not enough. The word itself implies forgiveness, not innocence.
Like many people, newly-elected State Attorney Bill Gladson was convinced none of the four were guilty. But fresh evidence was needed in order for the charges to be dropped. Gladson and his team of investigators dug deeply into past records to uncover previously-hidden evidence that proved the Groveland Four’s innocence. In November of 2021, based on stunning new evidence presented by State Attorney Gladson, the charges against all four men were dropped. Please join us for part 2 of State Attorney Bill Gladson’s presentation of the case, the cover-up and uncovering of evidence, and the ultimate legal efforts that resulted in exoneration of these four innocent men. Please join us for coffee (and on Zoom) at 8:45 and class will begin at 9:00. ***Zoom opens early at 10:00 AM, for anyone wishing to test audio/video connections and pre-worship chat. Worship Service starts at 10:30 AM.
