# Clayton-Jackson-McGhie Memorial *Memorial in Duluth, Minnesota* The **Clayton-Jackson-McGhie Memorial** is a memorial in Duluth, [[Minnesota]].[^1] The record assembled for this article does not establish the memorial's commissioning body, its date of dedication, or its design. The cached Wikipedia entry carries no section text, and none of the outside links in the pack is shown to concern this memorial.[^1] The project essay *The Instrument No One Will Name* (2026-06-18) describes the memorial as "adjudicated history". It sets the memorial beside the 2020 posthumous pardon of [[Max Mason]] as two cases of state truth-work.[^1] The essay's note on the memorial says that "the perpetrator's great-grandson apologizing by name" took place. The note marks that point as corpus-cited, not primary-confirmed.[^2] On June 12, 2020, the [[Minnesota Board of Pardons]] voted unanimously to grant Minnesota's first posthumous pardon. The board is made up of the [[governor]], the [[Minnesota Attorney General]] and the Chief Justice. The pardon cleared Max Mason in the case tied to the 1920 Duluth lynchings. The essay's note calls it "an evidentiary reversal" and marks it primary-confirmed against a release from the Minnesota Attorney General.[^3] ## In the Minnesota record ### Who - The essay's note records that the perpetrator's great-grandson apologized by name.
