JXN is a strategic model that approaches historic preservation through restorative truth-telling and redemptive storytelling. At the core of JXN is a fundamental belief that the preservation of Black American history is worthy of more than mere markers. JXN is guided by a holistic framework with a focus on a set of eight key pillars to include preservation, pedagogy, philanthropy, and proprietorship, as well as public engagement, public programming, public art, and public service, policy and|or planning. The JXN Project is grounded in Richmond, Virginia; however, as its said that 1 in 4 Black Americans can retrace their roots to its riverfront, JXN endeavors to emerge as a diasporic model to help guide other communities along the journey in using research to reconcile fact and folklore in the recovery of their respective origin stories by leveraging radical collaboration to drive racial conciliation.
