EJI's Community Remembrance Project invites counties across the country to claim their monuments and install them in the counties where the lynchings occurred, a process that involves years of conversations and actions about the legacies of racial violence and justice locally.

This Project is coordinated by the Statesboro - Bulloch Remembrance Coalition, a county-wide initiative dedicated to helping Statesboro-Bulloch County understand its legacy of lynching and legal terrorism used to enforce racial subordination. We believe this is necessary work in creating a welcoming community bound by equity and inclusion. Variegated in our humanity, we believe truth-telling is fundamental to reconciliation. Justice requires this reconciliation for the good order, peace, and dignity of our community. Learn more at www.bullocheji.org.
