We are an addiction and overdose awareness group from New Jersey that travels with hundreds of posters of beautiful souls who lost their lives because of their personal battle with addiction. The presentation is called Silent Memorials. It’s a powerful and moving display of The Black Poster Project where people can walk through at their own pace reading the stories of each lost soul.
Together with our partner, Alumni in Recovery, our conjoined goal is to change the stigma attached to this disease and bring awareness to communities throughout New Jersey and New York. We do this by representing those who lost their battle as well as providing resources from those that are living in sobriety.
Attendees to the display are invited to look at the faces, look into their eyes, read their stories — as each will ‘speak back’. Perhaps there may be a familiar face? Undoubtedly people ask themselves, “How this could have happened to this baseball player, this musician, this father, this mother?” Rest assured, the bereaved families ask themselves the same questions.
Due to the size of the display, we are currently limited to traveling throughout New Jersey and New York. However, we have no limitation to the areas we represent.
Lost souls included in this project are from all around the U.S.A.
