EJI's Lynching Memorial

Returned to the Montgomery memorial to African-American lynching victims over the weekend to escort a friend from Mobile.
Some of the sites:





"The National Memorial for Peace and Justice, which opened to the public on April 26, 2018, is the nation’s first memorial dedicated to the legacy of enslaved black people, people terrorized by lynching, African Americans humiliated by racial segregation and Jim Crow, and people of color burdened with contemporary presumptions of guilt and police violence.
