Jefferson County Memorial Project Training
Saturday, January 18
Join us on Saturday, January 18 from 10:00 a.m. to noon to learn more about Brian Stevenson’s Equal Justice Initiative & National Monument for Peace and Justice, and Jefferson County’s history of past racial terrorism and lynchings. The Jefferson County Memorial Project will be helping to educate on past events and advocate for social justice in the present and future.
JCMP Trainings are meant to give people a deeper understanding of our county's history and the tools to have these conversations with others.
During the training, we will:
Learn about our county's history of racial terror by discussing profiles in JCMP's 30 Residents Report
Discuss best practices for having conversations about race and this history with friends and family
Hear feedback and ideas about what you want to see from JCMP as we move forward
This event is free and the number of participants will be limited to 30 to ensure intentional training and discussions can happen. Please sign up to reserve your spot! For more information, contact Reggie Holder at reggie@highlandsumc.net.
