Redirects
Several of the names in this piece are associated with redirects that lead back to here. It's unlikely that anyone is going to search out this set of circumstances by searching George W. Dorsey, Mae Murray Dorsey, J Loy Harrison, or Lamar Howard. Much more likely would be Roger Malcom or Dorothy Malcom, whose initial domestic dispute led to the stabbing of Barnette Hester, the precipitant event to the lynching, yet neither Malcom has a redirect. No idea how to fix the matter, so I'll leave it to those more versed in the techniques. Irish Melkite (talk) 02:59, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I've just created Roger Malcom and Dorothy Malcom as redirects to this article. (Redirects already existed for the alternative spellings Roger Malcolm and Dorothy Malcolm.) The redirects from the other names all still exist; however, I've removed the links to them from this article, as it's not helpful to readers when an article links back to itself.

Role of NACW (National Associations of Colored Women)
Eddie S Glaude mentions the murders in his book "Democracy in Black How Race Still Enslaves The American Soul" Published 2016. He says if the NACW had not protested the Truman administration would probably not have acted and the department of justice would not have investigated.

the role of the clan in the lynching
Just heard a well informed speaker on NPR describe this lynching. He mentioned the large influence of the Klu Klux Klan. They not mentioned in this article?50.203.151.70 (talk) 19:08, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Needs more secondary sources
This article relies too much on primary sources - newspaper articles of the time. A number of studies have been done about lynchings in this period, as well as in Georgia, and a book was written about these events. The article needs material drawn from a perspective more distant from the events, and needs expansion with more recent historians' work. Parkwells (talk) 19:52, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Change title
This mass lynching is repeatedly referred to in sources as the Moore's Ford Bridge lynching, or the Moore's Ford lynching; the latter is the term used in the article in the "New Georgia Encyclopedia". It is too general to refer to it as the 1946 Georgia lynching, as I think there were others that year. I suggest we change the title by a move the article to "Moore's Ford lynching".
