Chester Housing Authority Executive Director, Steve Fischer, joins artist Marcy Morris and CHA project consultant for a visit to Susie Williams-Carter, sister of Alexander McClay Williams, a 16-year-old Black youth who was executed by the State of Pennsylvania in 1931.
Morris, at the request of Slaughter, reimagined a portrait of Alexander is prepared to gift the portrait to his sister.
Before he was falsely accused and sentenced to death by The State of Pennsylvania, 16-year-old Alexander McClay Williams very likely expressed faith, hope and joy through his youthful chocolate, brown face. However after being accused of a murder he did not commit in October 1930, the boy’s face is most popularly remembered through a staged photo with late Delaware County District Attorney William J. McCarter. The grim photo shows McCarter holding an ice pick - the alleged murder weapon - up to the boy’s sullen face.
