Description:
This short stretch of road is now named for Johnnie Mae Chappell (est 2005), an African-American woman who was gunned down as she walked along the road on March 23, 1964 by 4 white men. Several miles away in downtown Jacksonville, protests against the inequities of racial segregation turned violent as whites fought the advances of civil rights. The shooter, JW Rich, served 3 years for manslaughter, the charges against the 3 other men were dropped, despite confessions.
