About this campaign
OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE: The Slave Dwelling Project envisions a future in which the hearts and minds of Americans acknowledge a more truthful and inclusive narrative of the history of the nation that honors the contributions of all our people, is embedded and preserved in the buildings and artifacts of people of African heritage, and inspires all Americans to acknowledge their Ancestors.
OUR MISSION has five parts: (1) Raise awareness and organize resources to preserve, interpret, maintain and sustain extant slave dwellings and other structures significant to the stories of the enslaved Ancestors. (2) Bring together scholars and practitioners, preservationists, students and educators, writers, artists, legislators, organizations and businesses with the general public to:
Change the narrative of American history and address the legacies of slavery,
Preserve and sustain slave dwellings,
Promote education about slavery and the contributions of African Americans,
Engage in conversation about all these matters. (3) Support and encourage individuals and organizations to preserve and mark sites related to the institution of slavery and the legacy of slavery(4) Educate ourselves and others about the intertwined history of Americans of African and European origins, from the country’s founding to the present, to help us rewrite the narrative of history, preserve slave dwellings, and have dialogue about the legacies of slavery. (5) Engage people in honest conversations about slavery, race, racism and racial equity in search of improved racial relations.

I am a history teacher committed to teaching as full and honest a narrative as I can.
It's a great campaign!
I have visited many historic homes and often thought the narrative should and could be changed. When I learned about Joseph McGill and the Slave Dwelling Project, I became hopeful that more people could be reached with the truth.
It’s (beyond) time for the stories of enslaved people to be moved to the center of our history.
In honor of C.T. Vivian and John R. Lewis
Sometimes the best dialogues start with a simple t-shirt!
The Slave Dwelling Project shares the truths of this nation's turbulent history, and I am thankful for their endeavors to enlighten the masses.
I am the descendant of a runaway slave - Pilgrim Mc Iver who was born into slavery in Sanford, North Carolina. I am extremely proud to be in his lineage. And we - Black people - must honor our legacy. Thank you!
