Shore Publishing’s Beacon Awards recognize a few of the outstanding individuals who selflessly step up to help fulfill the Shoreline community’s promise as a place of opportunity, well-being, and safety for all.
The Witness Stones Project Executive Director’s commendation noted:
A retired teacher, [Dennis Culliton] continues to work on the Witness Stones Project, listening humbly and adapting to new dialogue about race, and serving as an educational resource as educators grapple with these issues. Through this project, Dennis brought to light the history of slavery in our shoreline towns, helping our communities understand how many early settlers and residents were making wealth directly or indirectly from the buying and selling of slaves.
