The Notorious Trial of Joe Thomas
February 7, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Join the ELPC Mission Board and Facing Systemic Racism Ministry Team following Sanctuary worship, as Tony Norman and Steve Mellon, journalists at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, speak about their joint project, “The Notorious Trial of Joe Thomas.”
This is the story of events that took place here in Pittsburgh in 1922, regarding the treatment of a Black man accused of murdering a white woman. This project illustrates the injustice of our criminal justice system, which has mistreated persons of color for centuries—and sadly continues today.
