Their goal is to honor the survivors of torture, their family members and the African American communities affected by the torture. The monument will also recall and honor the nearly two-decades long struggle for justice waged by torture survivors and their families, attorneys, community organizers, and people from every neighborhood and walk of life in Chicago.

- Curators: A panel of prominent area critics, artists, and community members will curate the submissions into roving exhibitions.
- Eligibility: Submissions may be made by a person of any age and nationality.
- Criteria for proposals: A proposed monument may take any form – from architecture to haiku, from website to mural, from community organization to performance, from bronze plaque to large-scale memorial.
- Submission process: the submission can be in the form of a PDF, PPT, webpage, or other accessible electronic format. Non-electronic submissions will also be accepted; please contact justicememorials@gmail.com to arrange delivery.
