Calvary Episcopal Church, as part of a solid coalition of community partners and allies, is engaged in a design process to develop an enduring memorial and archive honoring the estimated 3,800 enslaved people sold on the adjoining property, which was the site of a slave market run by Confederate general and noted white supremacist Nathan Bedford Forrest in Memphis, Tennessee.

Team Members include: Reverend Scott Walters, Rich Watkins, Earnestine Jenkins, Tim Huebner, Margaret Haltom, Annie Parker, Dorothy Wells, David Lusk and Margaret Craddock.

The Legacy of 87 Adams is a project of Monument Lab's Re:Generation, supported by the Mellon Foundation. For a full list of credits, see Re:Generation 2024.
