The JXN Project

The JXN Project [JXN] is a research-based reparative historic preservation non-profit organization that is dedicated to driving restorative truth telling and redemptive storytelling by capturing the pivotal role of Richmond, Virginia, in particular Jackson Ward, and recontextualizing its origin story as the nation’s first historically registered Black urban neighborhood — which is an often under-told narrative in the evolution of the Black American experience. JXN was co-created by Dr. Sesha Joi Moon, who serves as Executive Director and Director of Research, and Enjoli J. Moon, who serves as Assistant Director and Director of Programming — also known as "The Moon Sisters". JXN has been featured on PBS NewsHour and recently received Historic Richmond's 2021 Golden Hammer Award for "Best Placemaking" — an honor also shared by Kehinde Wiley's "Rumors of War".
