Recognizing Enslaved Africans of Larchmont-Mamaroneck
About Us: We are a group of local residents who have become aware of our community’s foundational ties to the institution of slavery.
Our Mission: Through research, education, and civic engagement,
we aim to honor the history, humanity and contributions of the 147 enslaved men, women, and children who resided in Mamaroneck Township between 1698 and 1817.
Our Goals are to:
- 1. Engage the Community in Recognizing the enslaved individuals;
- 2. Create a Memorial to honor their contributions;
- 3. Produce Educational Programs in conjunction with the memorial;
- 4. Raise Funds for the memorial and the programs.
