The Jefferson County Memorial Project is a grassroots coalition. We are currently composed of more than 35 community partners and a multi-racial, multi-faith, multi-sector, and multi-generational group of committed volunteers. Together, we will complete the four goals of JCMP:
- Research the 30 documented racial terror victims and their descendants
- Educate the public on the importance of this history
- Place historical markers at lynching sites and retrieve our monument from the National Memorial for Peace and Justice
- Advocate for reform where racial injustice still exists today
It is our hope that our memorial retrieval will make a statement that Alabamians will confront our history and reconcile for a better future.
