Personal Statement
I have joined the MPCPMP because I believe in its mission to educate and keep the memories alive of the 2 million Africans who died during the Transatlantic human trade and the 10 million that survived. I have watched this project since the start in 2011 and have learned so much. I believe the marker installations and events at port sites provide a tangible legacy for future generations. The hard work that has taken place to organize and commemorate each site shows a community partnership and ultimately its global impact on world history. As the project continues to evolve, we have made our mark on truth telling and history
