How to Donate to the REALM Memorial Now!

 

Schematic for the REALM Memorial.

Since 2018, we at REALM (Recognizing Enslaved Africans of Larchmont-Mamaroneck) have been striving to fulfill our mission to honor the history, humanity and contributions of the 147 Africans enslaved in Mamaroneck Township from 1698 to 1817. We researched the relevant background (see Slavery in Mamaroneck), studied similar efforts from across the country and opted to pursue the development of a permanent monument that would both recognize the enslaved Africans and help educate the community about this significant part of our history. 

Now, In collaboration with local officials, organizations, residents and artists, REALM is installing a memorial to the enslaved at the Mamaroneck Town Center. Known as UNEARTHED, the memorial will recount the history through artwork etched into the surface of a beautiful concrete monument. 

Our talented team of artists is finalizing designs, but we need your help to support them and pay for building and installing the memorial. All funds raised will go to the memorial.

Won’t you help? You can start learning about the enslaved people here at mamaroneckhistory.org. And, if you can, donate by sending a check made out to “The Mamaroneck Historical Society” with “for REALM” in the memo line. Mail to: P.O. Box 776, Mamaroneck, NY 10543.
 
Thank you for your support. Every person who learns about the enslaved is priceless. Every dollar is important.
 
Every dollar donated by December 31, 2023 will be matched 1:1 thanks to a generous anonymous donor.
