The Witness Stones Project (WSP) is an educational initiative whose mission is to restore the history and honor the humanity of the enslaved individuals who helped build our communities. WSP provides local archival research, professional teacher development, a classroom curriculum, and public programming to help students discover and chronicle the local history of slavery. The final component of the work in each community is the placement of Witness Stone Memorials™ that honor enslaved individuals where they lived, worked, or worshiped.
