In this episode, we speak with Tera DuVernay, the Deputy Director of Museum and Memorial Operations at the Equal Justice Initiative. Tera is also known for her work as a Researcher for several films including the academy award winning film 13th about mass criminalization in America. She has worked with the EJI for over 5 years and was on the core team who developed and opened the EJI’s Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice. The Equal Justice Initiative was founded in 1989 by Brian Stevenson, the author and esteemed public interest lawyer, with the goal of changing the narrative about race in America through legal representation, research, and media projects about criminal justice reform. The organization continues to expand on this goal through their museum, memorial and Community Remembrance Project.
This is one of three episodes that discuss the topic of memorialization and commemoration of the innumerous lives taken and forever impacted by the Atlantic slave trade. Please be sure to listen to the two other episodes in conversation with The Whitney Plantation in Wallace, Louisiana, and Les Anneaux de la Mémoire (The Shackles of Memory) association in Nantes, France.
This episode is brought to you by Dr. Stephanie Arel and produced by Shrine13.
