Unburying Voices: Community-Engaged Reparative Justice
Please join us for the April 12th VCU Health Humanities Lab's symposium, Unburying Voices: Community-Engaged Reparative Justice. The Symposium will include presentations by East Marshall Street Well (EMSW) Project Family Representative Council members; Ana Edwards, interviewer for the EMSW Oral History Project; Health Humanities Lab undergraduate fellows; and a roundtable discussion with:
*Carmen Foster and Stephanie Smith, Family Representative Council, East Marshall Street Well Project, Richmond, VA
*Jazmin Benton, Sacharja Cunningham, and Lex Wilson, Finding Ceremony, Philadelphia, PA
*Jessica Harris and DeTeasa Gathers, The Descendants of Enslaved Communities at University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA
The East Marshall Street Well Project at Virginia Commonwealth University addresses the discovery of human remains and artifacts from the 19th century found in an abandoned well on the MCV Campus in 1994. The project aims to ensure the remains, primarily of African descent, receive appropriate study, memorialization, and reburial, reflecting the dignity they were denied in life and death.
