Equal Justice Initiative - EJI's
Community Remembrance Project is part of a campaign to
recognize the victims of lynching by collecting soil from
lynching sites, erecting historical markers, and creating a
national memorial that acknowledges the horrors of racial
injustice.
The Franklin County Community Remembrance
Project is our participation in this national project to
raise public awareness of and provide public education on
the history of racial and economic injustice and inequality
in America and its particular legacy of racial terrorism.
In the words of EJI, "As more communities
join in this effort to concretize the experience of racial
terror through discourse, memorials, markers, and other acts
of truth-telling, more are overcoming the shadows cast by
these grievous events."
We Franklin County citizens hope to
recognize clearly our historical and current shadows. By so
doing we hope, while still accepting them, to move beyond
them into a clear day when Franklin County will be a place
for equal justice and opportunity for all.
Four main milestones mark the Community
Remembrance Project.
1. Forming and Developing a Community Remembrance Coalition
2. Conducting a Soil Collections Project
3. Installing a Historical Marker denoting the Erastus Brown
Lynching
4. Installing our own Franklin County National Memorial for
Peace and Justice Monument weathered steel column
