Shockoe Bottom in Richmond, VA was the second largest slave trading center in the U.S. How to preserve this history has been the subject of work by Professors Max Page and Joseph Krupczynski, who have developed a design for a nine-acre memorial park that, "would provide areas for contemplation, healing, and reflection while fully honoring the people and events of this essential but often ignored part of Richmond’s heritage." The proposal is supported by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
