Bench By The Road

The Bench By The Road project, initiated by The Toni Morrison Society, honors the significant contributions of African American history and culture through the placement of commemorative benches in various locations across the United States and beyond. Since its inception in 2008, the initiative has established over thirty benches at sites of historical importance, celebrating figures and events that have shaped the African American experience.

This project not only serves as a tribute to literary and cultural legacies but also fosters educational engagement through various programs and events sponsored by The Toni Morrison Society. By highlighting the struggles and achievements of African Americans, Bench By The Road provides a reflective space for community dialogue and remembrance.
