Valandra
Project Title
African American Oral Histories and Placemaking in Washington and Pulaski Counties
Project Summary

In partnership with long-term Black residents of Washington and Pulaski Counties, the Equal Justice Initiative, the Washington County Community Remembrance Project, Mosaic Templars Cultural Center, Fayetteville Public Library, Arkansas Soul, Visionairi Enterprises, and the Arkansas Peace and Justice Memorial Movement, Valandra will collect, digitize, illustrate, and disseminate histories of Black life in the two regions that include EJI memorial markers honoring victims of racial terror lynching. These narratives of placemaking will trace migration patterns, cultural interchange, and experiences of both racial struggle and resilience. In addition to creating a website to host these stories, the project team will design an exhibition and educational materials to disseminate them more widely.
