Abstract
Description
As a Senior Capstone project, I had the honor of designing an area of reflection for the John Dickinson Plantation. The plantation was the home of John Dickinson, who promoted freedom and liberty during the American Revolution, yet simultaneously enslaved human beings. The purpose of the project is to encourage thinking and healing regarding its
complicated history.
