Since 2011, the Middle Passage Ceremonies and Port Markers Project (MPCPMP) has been committed to the community-based work of truth-telling and commemorating African ancestors who perished during the trans-Atlantic human trade and those who survived. These ancestors were victims of one of the greatest crimes ever committed against humanity, extending for more than three centuries. Their foundational role in building this nation is only now beginning to be fully acknowledged and appreciated.

Working with residents at documented U.S. Middle Passage locations from Maine to Texas, and in Puerto Rico, MPCPMP has had the good fortune to meet many incredible and talented people who are committed to the work of honoring ancestors. During our 2024 End-of-Year fundraising campaign, we will introduce you to some of them – staff, new Board members, and volunteers. They are among the ones who make the Project successful and effective. Please view their videos during this fundraising period as they share their stories and explain their connection to this important work.
