This spring, the Truth + Transformation program is hosting community engagement and listening sessions with Atlanta residents to gather feedback and share insights on the upcoming forced labor memorials at the Chattahoochee Brick Company and Bellwood Quarry. Our work uncovers Atlanta’s suppressed history of racial terror, forced labor, and systemic injustice, centering the voices of those most affected.

Through these conversations, we aim to foster understanding, spark social change, and ensure the memorials reflect the community’s vision. The feedback gathered will be shared with key stakeholders, public officials, and the broader community to inform the design and development of the memorials, ensuring they honor this history in a way that is meaningful and impactful.

Join us in shaping how we remember the past and build a future rooted in truth and transformation.

Event location: Bellwood Homes, 736 Jefferson St, Atlanta, GA 30318.
