The Letitia Carson Legacy Project is committed to connecting past with present, history with reconciliation.
We invite you to join the LCLP community!
Learn about Letitia Carson, visit the Carson Donation Land Claim and homestead site, attend our annual symposium , dig into the exhibits in our digital history collection, and learn about and support our partners in their own work towards restorative justice.
