Memorializing Racial Terror: Lynching Markers in the United States 

Memorializing Racial Terror: Lynching Markers in the United States is a digital project that aims to catalog and map all the historical markers commemorating victims of lynching in the United States. This project intends to document recent efforts by activists, communities, organizations, and institutions to revive the collective memory of lynching and racial terror across the country. According to the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), one of the most active organizations promoting the memorialization of lynching victims, “Historical markers are a compelling tool in the creation of a permanent record of racial terror violence that provides everyone in the community exposure to our shared history of racial injustice.”
