The National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama, is a powerful and solemn memorial dedicated to the victims of racial terror lynchings in the United States. Established by the Equal Justice Initiative, the memorial opened to the public in April 2018. It features over 800 steel monuments, each representing a county where lynchings occurred, with the names of the victims engraved on them. The design of the memorial is intended to evoke the brutality and scale of the violence, while also fostering a space for reflection, reconciliation, and education about America's history of racial injustice.
