On October 3, 2026, the Memorializing the Enslaved in Arlington (MEA) project reached a major milestone by installing its 100th "stumbling stone" or memorial plaque during a dedication at Arlington’s Central Library.

The Arlington Historical Society and the Black Heritage Museum of Arlington will be unveiling the first of a series of "Stumbling Stones." These bronze markers commemorate the lives of the enslaved people who helped build our county (and our country).
