Ashland Sunrise Project: What is it?

The Sunrise Project aims to help former sundown towns reconcile their history of racial exclusion by creating new identities as that of “sunrise communities,” the opposite of sundown towns. After starting in Grants Pass, the Oregon Remembrance Project is now working with community members in Ashland to bring this vision of belonging for all to our community. Learn more about the project and how you can join us in rewriting the ending to the story of a sundown town.

Featured speakers include Taylor Stewart (Oregon Remembrance Project), Gabi Johnsen (Grants Pass Remembrance), & Anna Sloan (Southern Oregon Historical Society).

Ashland Sunrise Project is an Ashland Together Initiative in partnership with the Oregon Remembrance Project.

The event is free and open to the public. For more information and to RSVP, please go to our website at:
