Erecting a Public Marker
There can be no reconciliation and healing without remembering the past.
​
The Historical Marker Project will erect narrative markers in public locations describing the devastating violence, today widely unknown, that once took place in these locations in Bulloch County and nationally.
​
On February 21, 2023, the Statesboro City Council unanimously approved the placement of a marker memorializing the victims of racial terror lynching next to City Hall. The marker will be installed on January 11, 2024 at a public ceremony.

EJI works with communities to install historical markers that acknowledge lynchings, like this one in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
