We spent the bulk of our time in Montgomery visiting EJI's Legacy Sites. Their website declares, "The Power of History is in Telling the Truth." These sites are powerful, educational, emotional, and inspiring. Follow along on our journey as we share pictures, stories, and learnings from our trip.
The museum is a journey through 400 years of American history, covering enslavement, racial terrorism, segregation, and mass incarceration.
The memorial is dedicated to the victims of racial terror lynchings and through its design helps visitors to understand the scope and impact of this era.
The park combines narrative and world-class sculptures to explore the lived experience of enslaved people in America.
"The Equal Justice Initiative is committed to ending mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the United States, to challenging racial and economic injustice, and to protecting basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society."
EJI's work includes criminal justice reform, racial justice, anti-poverty projects, and public education.
