The Oregon Remembrance Project was started by Taylor Stewart in 2018 to memorialize a man named Alonzo Tucker, Oregon's most widely documented African American victim of lynching, who was lynched in Coos Bay, OR in 1902. February 2020, a soil collection ceremony was held near the spot of the lynching and, June 2021, a historical marker was unveiled in the community. After seeing the impact this work had in Coos Bay, the Oregon Remembrance Project expanded its mission to rectifying further instances of historical injustice in Oregon. 

"Don't let your inability to do everything stop you from doing one thing."
