Our Core Team

Our core team consists of a small group of multiracial, dedicated men and women who each fulfill specific roles that make up the Madison County Remembrance Project.

• David Person, owner of David Person Media, LLC is our humble, fearless leader who knows how to rally a community. He has worn many hats around town, from talk show host and columnist to director/producer. In addition to consulting with various clients and partners, David co-hosts Alabama Politics This Week with columnist Josh Moon.

• Angela Curry is the Executive Director of United Women of Color (UWOC). We all benefit from the insight and fresh ideas she brings as someone whose career is centered around shaping and developing a diverse community and cultivating civic engagement.

• The Reverend Michael Goldsmith, Rector of the Episcopal Church of the Nativity - Huntsville, was part of a small team in Gadsden, Alabama who successfully accomplished EJI’s goals of bringing community remembrance through soil collections and, ultimately, a memorial marker to Gadsden.  His experience and guidance are invaluable to our efforts.

• Tammy Cooney, Chief Programs Officer at Burritt on the Mountain functions as our minutes taker but brings so much more to the table by way of her organization skills and her get it done attitude.

• Amy Jackson is honored to be a part of this important group as the MCRP administrator (communication liaison & detail wrangler). Amy’s work has ranged from newspaper copy editor to artist to tutor with the Boys and Girls Club of North Alabama. Her passion for supporting nonprofits began in college and continues to this day.

• Cooper Green is the Community Service Minister at Interfaith Mission Service (IMS) and has years of experience working with volunteer organizations that seek to foster racial reconciliation. He is always willing to go above and beyond to do the work with excellence.

• Katie Calvert is an artist and graphic designer who handles the graphics and the public image of this project. Katie previously worked as a Suicide Hotline and Helpline call taker for Crisis Services of North Alabama (CSNA) and has also volunteered with a few anti-human trafficking organizations.
