Objective

Place a historical marker at the courthouse

Grayson County residents are coalescing around a campaign to place an accurately-worded historical marker at the location where the Sherman Riot of 1930 and Lynching of George Hughes began on the Grayson County Courthouse Square in downtown Sherman, Texas.

How you can help

One of the most effective ways you can help us achieve our mission is to contact the Grayson County Judge & Commissioners.

Contact your commissioner

Write them. Call them. Email them. Do this continuously until you get a response.

Get your friends involved

Organize your friends and communities and do a letter-writing or a telephone call-in campaign.

Contact the media

When you see an article about institutional racism or banning history, jot down the name and email address of the reporter and notify them about what Grayson County Officials are doing here.

Voting is also an opportunity to remove from office the County Judges and Commissioners who don’t like Texas history or bother to return phone calls and emails.
Here’s how to do it:

1. Get registered to vote!
2. Identify your precinct number.

At the top of your voter registration card you will find your Voting Precinct Number.

1. Identify who your county commissioner is.

Tip: there are only four (4) commissioner precincts in Grayson County. If your county judge or commissioner doesn’t understand the importance of Texas history, or doesn’t return your phone calls or emails, then you must decide if you want to replace them with people who will. Remember, they work for you. Would you retain an employee who never returns your phone calls? Your vote determines the quality of Grayson County leadership.

1. Put the election date on your calendar and show up to vote.

If you have a disability or are over 65, you may apply for absentee voting (also known as mail-in voting) which is statistically one of the safest, most secure forms of voting in the United States. For latest information on this, visit votetexas.gov.
