Where it happened
Every one of these places is a real address you can stand in today. Most of them carry no marker. The mob assembled at an intersection thousands of people cross every morning, and the statue where three bodies were laid is still on Marietta Street.
The six downtown stops follow the audio walking tour produced by WABE with historian Clifford Kuhn. The rest are places the downtown tour cannot reach.
