Forward Together Coalition
A local coalition of organizations, nonprofits, and individuals working together to complete projects related to the Equal Justice Initiative
The Forward Together Coalition was formed in 2019 by local organizations, nonprofits, and community members to take part in the Equal Justice Initiatives' Community Remembrances Projects, to document, recognize, and honor victims of racial terror in Craven County. These projects seek to address the history of racial violence in our community, and the impact of these events on our contemporary setting. The goal of the project is recognition of truth, reconciliation, and justice.
The Forward Together Coalition is open to anyone who supports and wishes to contribute to goals and projects. Please contact us at [email protected] to find out more and about our next meeting. Member organizations of the coalition include the African American Heritage and Cultural Center of New Bern, Craven Arts Council & Gallery, James City Historical Society, Craven County Branch NAACP, Juneteenth of New Bern, New Bern Historical Society, Tryon Palace, Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, and Young Urban Professionals of Eastern North Carolina, as well as many dedicated community members. |
