Loudoun County’s Board of Supervisors has voted to authorize a feasibility study to install a historical marker recognizing the third of three documented lynchings of Black men in the Virginia county.

The state highway historical marker would be placed in the northernmost portion of the county, across the Potomac River from Point of Rocks, Maryland, near the Potomac River, to tell the story of 25-year-old Page Wallace, a Black man, who was killed in February 1880.
