The original mission of the Colfax Memorial Organization was to fund, create and dedicate a fitting memorial for the men who fought for freedom that fateful day, and to inform and educate as many people as possible about the true story of the massacre and its aftermath. Now that the Memorial is up, additional funds are being raised to improve the educational and economic lives of the young African American students in Colfax as well as normal expenses related to the upkeep and maintenance of the memorial. Your contribution will make an impact and you can still play a part, whether you donate $5, $50, $5000, or $50,000+. Any donation will help and be greatly appreciated.
