Place Justice invites people across the state to examine our commemorative landscape and practices through the lens of racial history. Whose stories are being told and whose suppressed? Whose legacies are being forwarded, and at whose expense?
To inform and energize these efforts, we are hosting a series of panel discussions and film screenings between February and June. It is our hope that the Place Justice Event Series will spur local conversations that will invigorate ongoing work and inspire new actions at the local level.
The eight-part Place Justice Event Series is open to the public free of charge and is designed to assist communities in navigating the ethical and practical challenges involved in this long-needed reckoning.
