Healing the Wounds of Slavery. Inspiring the Future.

In 1998, we set out on the Interfaith Pilgrimage of the Middle Passage, a 13-month journey across oceans and memory to honor those who perished and those who endured. Today, that journey continues through the work of Crossing the Waters Institute for Cultural Exchange. To every hand and heart that has carried this vision, elders, youth, artists, volunteers, partners, and donors, thank you. Because of you, memory has become movement, and the hope of our Ancestors continues to carry our vision. Let's make 2026 our most powerful, impactful and successful year yet!
