Baskervill was engaged by the Richmond Slave Trail Commission and City of Richmond to design markers along the walkable, interactive experience of the Richmond Slave Trail. Situated at key historic and interpretive sites from the docks of Manchester to the auction houses of Shockoe Bottom, the markers offer insight and education into the legacy of slavery.

Along the way is Reconciliation Plaza, which showcases a 14-foot bronze sculpture that stands as a memorial to the international legacy of the slave trade. With identical versions in Liverpool, England, and Benin, Africa, the plaza creates a place of repose at a busy urban intersection in downtown Richmond and is defined by a fountain, concrete seatwalls, and simple landscaping to showcase the 14-foot bronze sculpture designed by artist Stephen Broadbent.
