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 witness as they install memorial stones. We invite you to join us at these public installations.
The installations bring together students, faculty, administrators, clergy, historians, public officials, and the larger community. Through oration, poetry, and music, they remember and honor those who were enslaved. We hope that these public memorials inspire communities to recommit themselves to learning their true history, dismantling current inequities, and building a just future.
All the ceremonies will be held outside. We ask that all attendees follow CDC guidelines for preventing the spread of COVID-19.
