Preserving Legacies: Resources for Reconciliation

Preserving Legacies: Resources for Reconciliation

Presented by Remembrance and Reconciliation Commission at Online/Virtual Space

In remembrance of three lynchings found in Montgomery County (Mr. George W. Peck and Mr. John Diggs-Dorsey in 1880; Mr. Sidney Randolph in 1896), this program seeks to contribute toward reconciliation for African American communities after suffering decades of racial inequities, discrimination and deprivation engendered by these violent acts. It will reveal resources and tools for communities to advocate for themselves and preserve African American historical and cultural legacies. You will learn about organizational strategies, how to declare and delineate cemeteries and family burial grounds, and funding possibilities available from local, state, and national sources.
