Author Gary Corsair will be discussing his book, “Legal Lynching: The Sad Saga of the Groveland Four.” This book was the basis for the Emmy Award-winning WUCF documentary “The Groveland Four,” which was filmed on location at the Historic Courthouse and in cooperation with the Lake County Historical Society.
Corsair was a long-time staffer at The Villages Daily Sun.
Gov. Ron DeSantis recently granted posthumous pardons to the four black men accused of raping a white woman in 1949.
