A lynching memorial is opening — and the United States has never seen anything like it. The National Memorial for Peace and Justice, which opens tomorrow on a 6-acre site overlooking Montgomery, Alabama, is dedicated to the victims of white supremacy. It demands a reckoning with one of the nation’s least recognized atrocities: the lynching of thousands of black people in a decades-long campaign of racist terror. Bryan Stevenson, the founder of the @eji_org, the nonprofit organization behind the memorial, decided that a single memorial was the most powerful way to give a sense of the scale of the bloodshed. For Bryan, the plans for the memorial and an accompanying museum were rooted in decades spent in Alabama courtrooms, witnessing a criminal justice system that treats African-Americans with particular cruelty, or indifference. And the museum is not a conventional one. It's probably better described as the presentation of an argument, supported by firsthand accounts and contemporary documents, that the slavery system did not end but evolved: from the family-shattering domestic slave trade to the decades of lynching terror, to the suffocating segregation of Jim Crow to the age of mass incarceration. @audramelton took these photos of @mempeacejustice and @legacymuseum.
