Community and Memorialization

Community Engagement and Memorialization

Community Conversations continue to be held at various community venues in and around Charleston, these are free and open to all. We want to hear what you think are appropriate ways to remember and honor our ancestors buried near Anson Street. Through the community engagement, school and art programs we hope to explore what you would like to see for the memorial. How does our understanding of the identity of the people buried at this site and those of African descent living in Charleston today affect the reinterment ceremony and the design of a memorial for the reburial site?

Please plan on joining us for our next event - RISE THAT WE MAY FEEL YOUR LIGHT - on December 3rd at the Marlene and Nathan Addlestone Library at the College of Charleston at 5.30pm.

The Exhibition is on view Dec 3rd '18 - Feb 28th 2019, give us your feedback on the memorial designs - how do you want the ancestors to be remembered and honored? Your input is vital!

In May 2019 the remains of the 36 people will be reinterred near the Gaillard. What are your hopes for the reburial ceremony? *

What elements of the memorial designs do you find most inspiring? *

Do you find the various African references in the memorial designs meaningful? Please share your thoughts. *

Over the coming months we will plan the reinterment ceremony and memorial, and work with Redux Contemporary Art Center to create art for the reinterment ceremony. How would you like to engage in this project further? *
