EJI's Memorial for Peace and Justice

The Equal Justice Initiative's Memorial for Peace and Justice is a powerful public exhibit in Montgomery, Alabama, honoring thousands of enslaved Black Americans who suffered racial violence and lynching. The memorial features bronze sculptures representing victims, along with hanging banners listing the names of the known victims. Its goal is to acknowledge historical atrocities, promote awareness, and inspire justice and reconciliation. By confronting this difficult history, the memorial encourages society to address racial injustice and work toward equality.
