Lake County officials are hoping to move forward with a plan to build a monument-style plaque for the Groveland Four.
A meeting will be held Tuesday to discuss the memorial, which would be located at the historic courthouse in Tavares.
Earnest Thomas, Charles Greenlee, Samuel Shepard and Walter Irvin — the so-called Groveland Four — are all dead.
Earlier this year, Gov. Ron DeSantis pardoned the four African-American men, 70 years after they were falsely accused of raping a 17-year-old white woman in Lake County.
Officials posted samples of what the plaque could look like in their meeting agenda.
If approved, staff will begin seeking proposals for construction.
