Our Mission
Through research, education, and civic engagement, the Witness Stones Project, Inc., seeks to restore the history and honor the humanity of the enslaved individuals who helped build our communities.
Upcoming Events
Join us at a public program this spring.
During the 2020-21 school year, students at eighteen schools in thirteen communities participated in the Witness Stones Project. Over the next two months these students will be inviting their communities to join them as they remember and honor the enslaved men and women from their community.
