Sunset over the ocean with dark clouds in the sky, sunlight reflecting on gentle waves and foam near the shore—a tranquil scene evoking Expressions Of Remembrance and honoring history through the Port Markers Project.

There are 55 documented U.S. Middle Passage arrival locations, 29 have markers, 5 are in planning for marker installations in 2022, and 21 still require ceremonies and markers. From 1526 to 1860, approximately 500,000 captured children, women, and men arrived on the U.S. mainland.
