Inspired by the unearthing of the remains of 95 black inmates at a former prison cemetery in Sugarland, Texas, this project seeks to create a public space of reverence, celebration, and storytelling of the impact of the devastating convict leasing program. It aims to establish a cultural and heritage destination that celebrates, pays homage to, and narrates the stories related to the state's past convict leasing program, various injustices, and the significant role played by Black citizens and to educate all about the African diaspora.
