East Marshall Street Well Project
The East Marshall Street Well Project at Virginia Commonwealth University addresses the discovery of human remains and artifacts from the 19th century found in an abandoned well on the MCV Campus in 1994. The project aims to ensure the remains, primarily of African descent, receive appropriate study, memorialization, and reburial, reflecting the dignity they were denied in life and death.
