@mashagessen so glad you’re boosting Bryan Stephenson

A couple of months ago, I visited Montgomery, Ala., where an organization called the Equal Justice Initiative is undertaking a very different project. It is telling the story of Black Americans. The E.J.I. has so far built a lynching memorial, a Legacy Museum, a vast sculpture garden and a public square with a permanent exhibit on the civil rights movement. Each element of the complex, which is still growing, is as powerful as any museum or memorial I have visited.
