About AAR&RI: AnMed is a founding member of the the Anderson Area Remembrance and Reconciliation Initiative (AAR&RI). The goal of this initiative is to honor the five known victims of racial terror lynching in Anderson County by reflecting more honestly on the legacy of racial and economic injustice. AAR&RI is working in partnership with the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama, to raise awareness and inspire action through dialogue, community education, and public memorials as tools to reduce health and social disparities and move us toward the goal of a “Beloved Community” for all.
