One Million Bones is a national social arts project to raise awareness of ongoing genocide and atrocities in places like Sudan, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia and Burma. Project participants, from across the United States, created bones to symbolize lives lost to political violence. Youth in Substitute Care, Laraway's therapeutic foster care program, crafted clay bones to become part of the installation.
Vermont-made bones were featured in an installation at the University of Vermont in April; they will be part of a national installation on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on June 8-10.
