The Black Sheriffs' Memorial offers conference planners and meeting organizers a meaningful off-site experience that blends history, leadership and public service.
Located in Washington, DC and operated by the Lucius D. Amerson Bridge Builder Foundation, the Memorial honors and archives the contributions of African-American sheriffs past and present while highlighting their role in advancing public safety and the rule of law across the United States. Visitors participate in a self-guided QR code tour that shares the stories of pioneering sheriffs through digital storytelling, historical imagery, and interpretive content. Outdoor exhibits include a steel-etched monolith recognizing trailblazing law enforcement leaders, while the indoor gallery features curated displays such as "Sisters with Badges," honoring African American women currently serving as sheriffs nationwide. Memorial can accommodate group tours of up to 75 visitors.
