Harrington’s lynching will be remembered in a ceremony Saturday with the placement of a memorial marker in West Terrace Park overlooking the West Bottoms. He will be the first Missouri lynching victim to receive a memorial, which is the result of a collaboration between The Black Archives of Mid-America in Kansas City, the Missouri Conference of the NAACP, Missouri Faith Voices, Missourians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty and the Equal Justice Initiative.
