A re-enactment of a notorious lynching 60 years ago will feature a new character this year, the late Georgia Governor Eugene Talmadge. Organizers say a volunteer depicting Talmadge will deliver a race-baiting stump speech before the annual re-enactment. Every year volunteers depict two black couples being attacked and killed by a white mob at Moore's Ford Bridge in 1946. FBI has investigated claims that Talmadge was involved in the lynching.
