The Robert E. Lee Monument located on Monument Drive in Richmond, VA, has transformed into a site of protest, subversion, and public engagement by protesters and activists marching for Black Lives. Check out this 3D, aerial model by @terrykilby. What’s been your fave engagement?

Our latest poster is a long-overdue monument to Oscar James Dunn, a Black civil rights activist and politician during #Reconstruction whom W.E.B. Du Bois called, "an unselfish, incorruptible, leader." (1/23)

We are eternally grateful to everyone who took part in the Paper Monuments project directly, to the network of peer projects in our city and across the country who provided a community of practice, and most of all to the incredible people of New Orleans.

Paper Monuments was a public art and public history project sharing undertold narratives of the city. While the most visible elements of the Paper Monuments project were the public art installations, public proposals for prospective new monuments were at the heart of the process.

4) When it's all done, we'll have an immersive digital experience with music, film, and a celebration of Black history in New Orleans. For now, here's our friend, Al Johnson, reminding you that "Claiborne Street is rockin' from one side to the other!" youtube.com/watch?v=axNmY5…

3) Digital reconstructions of 22 blocks of N. Claiborne from Canal to Elysian Fields. We'll use photographs, Sanborn maps, and surveys to get a glimpse of Claiborne Avenue before the construction of the I-10. (photo: 1937 Sanborn, lakeside of Claiborne from Esplanade to Columbus)
