The Praise House at Emory University
By acknowledging the history of Oxford, the birthplace of Emory, and by recalling the tradition of the Ring Shout, the work invited audiences to return to the places of ancestral memory and to recall the history of slavery and dispossession.

The Praise House was saved, like praise houses before, and moved from Emory to a Freedman’s town!

Remembering Beacon Hill
aka - “The Bottom”
Resting on land which holds the earliest memories of freedom in Downtown Decatur, the Praise House in Beacon Hill honored this Freedman’s town and its present and active descendant community’s wishes for the historic preservation and repurposing of their few remaining historic sites.

The Praise House at South-View Cemetery
In its next act of remembrance, The Praise House Project will next travel along the path of the 1906 Atlanta Race Massacre to ultimately rest at South-View Cemetery in South Atlanta. There, it will acknowledge this history and the victims who rest there along with some of the most prominent civil and human rights leaders in history.
This installation will mark the beginning of a year of remembrance leading up to the 120th anniversary of the massacre.
Praise House Project Inc seeks to identify a public art commission or acquisition for its permanent installation in the city of Atlanta after it rests at South-View for a year of remembrance in acknowledgement of the 120 anniversary of the 1906 Atlanta Race Massacre.
