The Witness Stones Project aims to bring attention to the history of slavery with the goal of fostering a deeper understanding of the past and its impact on the present. By researching and commemorating the lives of enslaved individuals, the project seeks to create meaningful connections between history, memory and contemporary conversations about race and equality.
To date 260 stones have been placed across 5 states and more are being planned. On this bike tour we will visit the stones currently enshrined in New Haven and learn about the individuals they honor.
