As part of its work in documenting the history of racial terror lynching in Alachua County, the Alachua County Community Remembrance Project ceremoniously collections soil from, or near, lynching sites across the county. It does this work in partnership with the Equal Justice Initiative. This soil collection jar display is a co-curated exhibit between the ACCRP and members of the Museum Studies graduate program at the University of Florida (PI Jacque Miciel-Voutsinas). The exhibit addresses the history of racial terror lynching in Alachua County during the Jim Crow Era and will be on permanent view at the county administration building in Gainesville, FL.
