Register Now for our Bearing Witness to Racism in America

Published on March 18, 2024

Dear Zen Peacemaker,

2,000 murders of Black people are documented in just the twelve years after the Civil War. America’s racial violence continues today through police violence and mass incarceration of Black Americans.

Join us to bear witness to our history of racism and violence. 

Please share registration information with your communities.

In Gratitude,
Zen Peacemakers


 

J. Thomas Shipp and Abraham S. Smith were African-American boys who were murdered in a spectacle lynching by a group of thousands on August 7, 1930, in Marion, Indiana. They were taken from jail cells, beaten, and hanged from a tree in the county courthouse square.
