In 1944, the Detroit chapter of the NAACP held a mock-funeral for him. In 1963, participants in the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom symbolically buried him. I was thinking about this act in relation to Black Panther gun act. but I didn't find much reference to this performance or about the people.

There was a similar act that I found interesting which was performed in  2009.
