More than 4,400 Black people killed in racial terror lynchings between 1877-1950 are remembered at the National Memorial for Peace and Justice. More than 800 corten steel monuments hold their names–one for each county where a racial terror lynching took place in the US.

The Legacy Museum is situated on the site of an old cotton warehouse—it invites visitors to reckon with our history of racial injustice exactly where that very history was lived. Plan your visit, engage with history, and begin an era of truth telling: legacysites.eji.org
