Army Unveils Memorial to a Black Soldier Lynched on Military Base 80 Years Ago

On August 4, the army unveiled a historic marker honoring the life of Private Felix Hall, who was found hanging from a tree on a segregated Army base in Georgia in 1941. Northeastern Law’s Civil Rights and Restorative Justice Project (CRRJ) was first to unearth the FBI file on Hall, the only known victim of a lynching on a US military installation.
