Physical markers offer powerful opportunities to reconnect with history. The staff of Stopping Stones, a national public art and education initiative committed to commemorating forgotten lives at sites of enslavement, work, and worship, offer their perspective on the power these markers restore the humanity of Americans enslaved in the past, and foster racial healing today.
