Twin Memorials
Honoring the Enslaved
Emory University's Twin Memorials project seeks to honor the substantial contributions of the enslaved individuals and their descendants who helped to build, maintain, and grow Emory.
In 2021, Emory University announced plans to develop memorials on its Atlanta and Oxford campuses to honor the enslaved individuals who are part of Emory's history. These Twin Memorials will create space for contemplation and learning for students, staff, faculty, and community members.
The Twin Memorials project arises from these efforts to look unflinchingly at our past while firmly adhering to our present commitments to improving the human condition and creating an inclusive environment for all who seek to live, learn, and work here.
