Community Engagement Reminders

Wyatt Outlaw Vigil, AREA Planning Meeting, Legacies of Lynching

February 22, 2025

Welcome to the Alamance Racial Equity Alliance newsletter! As we walk alongside one another in 2025, it is so very important that time is spent building relationships. A key focus of our work this year will be just that: getting to know one another and deepening those connections. We are a community of anti-racist people that encourages the transformation of thought through collective learning, meaningful relationships, and community events.

Our purpose is to end racism.

Join us as we honor the memories of those lost to lynching, foster collaboration, and build a statewide network committed to truth.

Home | Alamance County Community Remembrance Coalition

The Alamance County Community Remembrance Coalition was formed in November 2019 as a result of a few coalition members journeying to the Equal Justice Initiative’s (EJI) Legacy Museum and National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama. These members returned with a renewed passion to bring EJI projects to their community to recognize the tragic history of local racial terror lynchings. Coalition members contacted other community leaders who could bring valuable knowledge of history, families, events, and community work.
