More than 70 years ago, four people were lynched in the town of Monroe. Those behind it say it was a message to black people, that this is what would happen if you tried to vote.
The murders -- known as the Moore's Ford Bridge lynching -- remain one of America's unsolved mysteries.
On Saturday, a group of civil rights activists reenacted the lynching in front of a live audience right at the spot of the murders.
For 13 years the lynching has been reenacted.
"These stories need to be told," said observer Kamal Saleem. "We're not too far from experiencing this kind of stuff today."
One reason behind the reenactments is to call for justice for four black people murdered and a baby cut from the womb of it's mother.
The second reason for this reenactment is to serve as a reminder of how important simple rights can be.
"People want to think, 'oh, my vote doesn't count,' but they have to understand, blood is in this ground because they wanted to vote," said another observer, Shirlene Bonner. "You have it, use it. Get out and vote."
The actors in this performance can get up and walk away, but the original killings remain unsolved, even though there were 50 people suspected of the killings.
The GBI officially closed the investigation in early 2018, but that won't stop the reenactments or the call for justice.
