Civil Rights Memorial
The Civil Rights Memorial is a monument located in Montgomery, Alabama, dedicated to honoring those who lost their lives during the American civil rights movement. Designed by architect Maya Lin, the memorial features a black granite table inscribed with the names of individuals who died fighting for civil rights, along with a flowing water feature symbolizing the ongoing struggle for equality.
