The Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) plans to build a national memorial to victims of lynching in Montgomery, Alabama, which is expected to open in 2018. This memorial project relating to America's history of racial terror and lynching will become the most ambitious in the nation on this topic.
A history of racial injustice must be acknowledged, and mass atrocities and abuse must be recognized and remembered, before a society can recover from mass violence. Public commemoration plays a significant role in prompting community-wide reconciliation. EJI director Bryan Stevenson has argued that "our nation's history of racial injustice casts a shadow across the American landscape. This shadow cannot be lifted until we shine the light of truth on the destructive violence that shaped our nation, traumatized people of color, and compromised our commitment to the rule of law and to equal justice." We all must engage this history more honestly, and a memorial creates that opportunity.
I would've questioned why there's only black people hanging around there but then i read the title
we should also have a memorial for all the black on black crime deaths that BLM have continued to ignore.
Does the museum have live demonstrations of how it works?
nice bait
I don't think there's enough donations in the world to build a superstructure for that
