For four years people in Georgia USA have been publicly reenacting the 1946
Moores Ford Bridge lynchings. The original event is Googleable. To me it's
especially interesting as (in a broad sense) a "we lost" ceremony, which
seems to have been a subject of inquiry in Glorantha discussions: "What kind
of magic do you get from a heroquest you're supposed to lose?" Also with
respect to: when you have an enemy in a ceremony, who plays the role, what's
it like, and what does the community get out of it. Here are some of the
reasons people gave for doing the reenactments. They're from notes I took
and might not be quoted perfectly.
