Executed
Arthur Williams
Arthur Williams, a Black man, was executed in the electric chair by the State of Florida on December 11, 1926, while held in the custody of the state prison system. The Florida Department of Corrections, which keeps the state's execution list, records the date, method and manner of his death and gives the cause as execution in the electric chair. That record offers nothing about his family, his work, or how people remembered him. Objections to his execution are not recorded in the source.
