Memoried and Storied
Healing Our Shared History of Racial Violence
There is a racial healing moment happening in America today. Collectively, as a people, American activists will never stop fighting for justice, peace, and security for all. And yet we stand at a crossroads where once again white supremacists are attempting to wipe Black history out of the public record.
“Memoried and Storied” tells the story of four lynchings in the southern United States from 1878 to 1918. It is the story of the lives of four people before they were captured and terrorized. And it is the story of their current day community members who choose to honor their memory and mourn the mob violence that took them from their families.

“To see a place that was once considered a horror scene has now become a beautiful garden of peace and tranquility. It’s not redemption, but it’s something on that road.”
