Following up on the protest last Tuesday of the repaving of what “may be the site of the largest slave burial ground in the nation”, organizers are working towards a follow-up rally to marshall momentum. An organizing meeting will be held @ Gallery 5 on Wednesday the 11th at 7:00PM.

We feel more than ever it is important to keep up this momentum and continue with much diligence to insure that this does not become a dead issue. We have plans to hold a follow up rally to address the current situation that has developed since June 2nd that should include much of the community and their opinions about this issue. If you have wanted to get involved, but aren’t sure what you can do, please consider coming to our informal sign and banner making workshops leading up to the rally.

We will be meeting at Gallery 5 on Wednesday the 11th at 7:00 pm. The address is 200 West Marshall St. in Jackson Ward. We will be providing some materials but feel free to bring along poster board, cotton material (i.e. a sheet) and spray paint. We look forward to hearing your ideas! Feel free to contact either of us at this email address or call.
