The National Memorial for Peace and Justice is located in Montgomery, Alabama and was opened in 2018. It is dedicated to the victims of racial terror lynchings in the United States, particularly those that occurred between the late 19th and mid-20th centuries. The memorial features over 800 steel monuments, each representing a county where lynchings took place, serving as a powerful reminder of this dark chapter in American history. The memorial was created by the Equal Justice Initiative, an organization focused on addressing issues of injustice and inequality. It aims to promote awareness and encourage discussions about racial violence and its lasting impact on society. Visitors are invited to reflect on the legacy of these events and consider the ongoing struggle for civil rights.
