ABOUT THE TWIN MEMORIALS DESIGN TEAM

Emory University's Twin Memorials project seeks to honor the substantial contributions of the enslaved individuals and their descendants who helped to build, maintain, and grow Emory.

In 2021, Emory University announced plans to develop memorials on its Atlanta and Oxford campuses to honor the enslaved individuals who are part of Emory's history.

The university has chosen Hood Design Studio to create the Twin Memorials. The firm's founder and creative director is Walter Hood, a 2019 MacArthur Fellow and chair and professor of landscape architecture and environmental planning and urban design at the University of California, Berkeley, who was recently elected to the American Academy of Arts & Sciences.
