This week, Duluth residents pause to remember three black men, lynched more than eighty years ago by a mob. There are events planned most days. On Friday, a memorial march begins at noon; on Superior Street, outside the old Duluth City Jail. Meanwhile Work continues on Duluth's monument to the three victims. A downtown corner will become a pedestrian park; with benches and a memorial wall. The centerpiece is a bronze relief of the three men. Mainstreet Radio's Bob Kelleher reports.
