DocuSign Envelope ID: 1EEODC85- 7CA9 -41CF- 815E- 5E4DD229C531 <br />Project Goals Employing the arts as a vehicle for deeper understanding of our <br />history, Margaret Lane Cemetery Day of Remembrance will honor <br />Hillsborough's ancestors. The Margaret Lane Cemetery Day of <br />Remembrance will leave a beautiful, hand -made tribute to the men <br />and women who built our town. The event will bring members of our <br />community together in reflection of our shared history to help bind us <br />together for a stronger, more just future. <br />Not only will there be a visible tribute to these important people, but <br />participants will come away having learned more about <br />Hillsborough's history and the important impact and contributions <br />made by African - Americans to our town's development during the <br />colonial era, civil war, and reconstruction. <br />Audience Description The Day of Remembrance will be open to all members of the <br />community, particularly targeting the town of Hillsborough where the <br />event is taking place. <br />We are estimating we will have about 250 people in attendance at the <br />Day of Remembrance and the workshops leading up to the event. <br />The 2010 census found that the population of Hillsborough Township <br />is approximately 13,809. The census found that the population is <br />70.6% white, 21 % Black or African American, 0.7% American Indian <br />and Alaska Native, 1.3% Asian, 2.7% Some Other Race and 2.7% Two <br />Races or More. We expect these numbers to be reflected in the <br />composition of the audience. <br />
