In the wake of Charlottesville communities across the nation are reevaluating memorials and the history that they represent. On the occasion of the Center’s 5th Anniversary, the CSSJ will be organizing the conference: Race, Memory, and Memorialization.  This conference will examine the activism behind the Southern Freedom Movement and critically question the way the Civil Rights Movement has been represented through memorials and exhibitions. The conference will raise the question- how do you create a memorial/marker/museum to the racial injustices of the present moment?

This conference was made possible with support from Center for the Study of Race &amp; Ethnicity in America
