Our mission

The mission of the Duplantier Cousins Committee for Justice (Cousins for Justice) is to actively promote justice - "making things right" - through education, research, and community organizing. We work to build holistic programs of reeducation through structural symbols of remembrance. We believe this mission starts with Magnolia Mound Plantation Museum and the work to honor the history of Black, African, and Creole ancestors.

Our Initiatives

We are completing this work through:

  • Fundraising for a memorial to the enslaved community of Magnolia Mound

  • Creating permanent displays around the history of Black, African, and Creole life

  • Building ongoing relationships with descendants of enslaved communities
