World Day of Remembrance

The exhibit will feature pairs of shoes to represent the 1,732 people killed on North Carolina roads last year. A press event at 2:00 pm will honor North Carolina crash victims and feature remarks from transportation leadership.

How to Participate:

All are welcome to the shoe memorial exhibit and press event. Everyone is invited to wear the color yellow, the official color of the global World Day of Remembrance.

If you have been seriously injured in a crash or would like to honor a lost loved one, you are also invited to share your story or contribute a photo to the event.

Please reach out to tracy_russ@ncsu.edu if you would like to dedicate a pair of shoes to a loved one, share your story, or contribute
