The National Memorial to Peace and Justice, Civil rights memorial in Montgomery, United States
The memorial contains 800 steel columns suspended from a roof structure, each representing counties where documented lynchings took place in the United States.
Between 1877 and 1950, over 4,400 Black Americans fell victim to racial terror lynchings, with their names and stories preserved within this memorial's walls.
The memorial serves as the nation's first dedicated space to acknowledge the legacy of enslaved Black Americans and victims of racial violence in the United States.
Located at 417 Caroline Street, the memorial maintains operations from Wednesday through Sunday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with an entrance fee of 5 dollars.
The memorial includes duplicate steel columns for each county, inviting communities to claim their monuments and install them in their original lynching locations.
