More than 4400 African American men, women, and children were hanged, burned alive, shot, drowned, and beaten to death by white mobs between 1877 and 1950. Millions more fled the South as refugees from racial terrorism, profoundly impacting the entire nation. Until now, there has been no national memorial acknowledging the victims of racial terror lynchings. On a six-acre site atop a rise overlooking Montgomery Alabama, the national lynching memorial is a sacred space for truth-telling and reflection about racial terror in America and its legacy.Deep thanks for the EJI for allowing me to photograph the Memorial. All caption information was borrowed from the EJI site and is copyright the Equal Justice Initiative. https://artmeripol.com/Projects/Memorial-for-Peace-and-Justice/2/pf-media/MemPeaceJustice0016.jpgMemPeaceJustice0016Work on the memorial began in 2010 when EJI staff began investigating thousands of racial terror lynchings in the American South, many of which had never been documented. EJI was interested not only in lynching incidents, but in understanding the terror and trauma this sanctioned violence against the black community created. Six million black people fled the South as refugees and exiles as a result of these "racial terror lynchings." https://artmeripol.com/Projects/Memorial-for-Peace-and-Justice/3/pf-media/MemPeaceJustice0002.jpgMemPeaceJustice0002This research ultimately produced Lynching in America: Confronting the Legacy of Racial Terror in 2015 which documented thousands of racial terror lynchings in twelve states. Since the report’s release, EJI has supplemented its original research by documenting racial terror lynchings in states outside the Deep South. EJI staff have also embarked on a project to memorialize this history by visiting hundreds of lynching sites, collecting soil, and erecting public markers, in an effort to reshape the cultural landscape with monuments and memorials that more truthfully and accurately reflect our history. https://artmeripol.com/Projects/Memorial-for-Peace-and-Justice/4/pf-media/MemPeaceJustice0008.jpgMemPeaceJustice0008The Memorial for Peace and Justice was conceived with the hope of creating a sober, meaningful site where people can gather and reflect on America’s history of racial inequality. EJI partnered with artists like Kwame Akoto-Bamfo whose sculpture on slavery confronts visitors when they first enter the memorial. EJI then leads visitors on a journey from slavery, through lynching and racial terror, with text, narrative, and monuments to the lynching victims in America. In the center of the site, visitors will encounter a memorial square, built in collaboration with MASS Design Group. The memorial experience continues through the civil rights era made visible with a sculpture by Dana King dedicated to the women who sustained the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Finally, the memorial journey ends with contemporary issues of police violence and racially biased criminal justice expressed in a final work created by Hank Willis Thomas. The memorial displays writing from Toni Morrison and Elizabeth Alexander, words from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and a reflection space in honor of Ida B. Wells. https://artmeripol.com/Projects/Memorial-for-Peace-and-Justice/5/pf-media/MemPeaceJustice0014.jpgMemPeaceJustice0014Set on a six-acre site, the memorial uses sculpture, art, and design to contextualize racial terror. The site includes a memorial square with 800 six-foot monuments to symbolize thousands of racial terror lynching victims in the United States and the counties and states where this terrorism took place. https://artmeripol.com/Projects/Memorial-for-Peace-and-Justice/6/pf-media/MemPeaceJustice0003.jpgMemPeaceJustice0003The memorial structure on the center of the site is constructed of over 800 corten steel monuments, one for each county in the United States where a racial terror lynching took place. The names of the lynching victims are engraved on the columns. The memorial is more than a static monument. In the six-acre park surrounding the memorial is a field of identical monuments, waiting to be claimed and installed in the counties they represent. Over time, the national memorial will serve as a report on which parts of the country have confronted the truth of this terror and which have not. https://artmeripol.com/Projects/Memorial-for-Peace-and-Justice/7/pf-media/MemPeaceJustice0012.jpgMemPeaceJustice0012EJI is inviting counties across the country to claim their monuments and install them in their permanent homes in the counties they represent. Eventually, this process will change the built environment of the Deep South and beyond to more honestly reflect our history. EJI staff are already in conversation with dozens of communities seeking to claim their monuments. EJI approaches these conversations — and all of our community education work — with thought and care. EJI shares historical and educational material with community members, encourages participation from communities of color, and works with partners to find an appropriate geographic location for each monument to ensure that the process of claiming monuments helps local communities engage with this history in a constructive and meaningful way https://artmeripol.com/Projects/Memorial-for-Peace-and-Justice/8/pf-media/MemPeaceJustice0011.jpgMemPeaceJustice0011 https://artmeripol.com/Projects/Memorial-for-Peace-and-Justice/9/pf-media/MemPeaceJustice0010.jpgMemPeaceJustice0010 https://artmeripol.com/Projects/Memorial-for-Peace-and-Justice/10/pf-media/MemPeaceJustice0013.jpgMemPeaceJustice0013 https://artmeripol.com/Projects/Memorial-for-Peace-and-Justice/11/pf-media/MemPeaceJustice0009.jpgMemPeaceJustice0009 https://artmeripol.com/Projects/Memorial-for-Peace-and-Justice/12/pf-media/MemPeaceJustice0015.jpgMemPeaceJustice0015 https://artmeripol.com/Projects/Memorial-for-Peace-and-Justice/13/pf-media/MemPeaceJustice0004.jpgMemPeaceJustice0004 https://artmeripol.com/Projects/Memorial-for-Peace-and-Justice/14/pf-media/MemPeaceJustice0006.jpgMemPeaceJustice0006 https://artmeripol.com/Projects/Memorial-for-Peace-and-Justice/15/pf-media/MemPeaceJustice0005.jpgMemPeaceJustice0005 https://artmeripol.com/Projects/Memorial-for-Peace-and-Justice/16/pf-media/MemPeaceJustice0007.jpgMemPeaceJustice0007 https://artmeripol.com/Projects/Nursing-during-Covid-19/1/pf-media/Covid-19Nursing0005.jpgCovid-19Nursing0005For a Regional Hospital to promote their nursing and health care staff's work during the pandemic.

L-The US Supreme Court https://artmeripol.com/Projects/US-Civil-Rights-Trail/5/pf-media/03_MonroeTopeka.jpg03_MonroeTopekaIn the summer of 1950, 13 parents in Topeka, Kansas, took their black children to their neighborhood schools to register them for the upcoming school year. All 20 of the children were refused admission on the basis of their skin color. Undeterred, the parents filed a lawsuit against the Topeka Board of Education. The case eventually reached the United States Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of the plaintiffs and overturned the Plessy v. Ferguson decision of 1896, which allowed state-sanctioned segregation in public education. The court’s judgment stated that “separate but equal educational facilities are inherently unequal.” https://artmeripol.com/Projects/US-Civil-Rights-Trail/6/pf-media/04_TopekaRanger.jpg04_TopekaRangerA National Park Service Ranger at Monroe Elementary which was a prominent part of the Brown V.

Sumner and the town of Money, about 30 miles south, became national focal points after Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam brutally murdered 14-year-old Till and were later acquitted of any charges at their trial at the Sumner courthouse. Till became an emblem of the Civil Rights Movement because his story shed light on the horrific treatment of African-Americans in Mississippi and the South. Today, his memory is preserved in these cities through historical markers, an interpretive center and various initiatives in his honor.

Board of Education of Topeka, the court mandated that all public schools in the U.S. be desegregated “with all deliberate speed” in a second ruling called Brown II. Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus opposed the decision and attempted to block nine black students from entering Central High School in Little Rock by calling in the Arkansas National Guard on September 4, 1957. These students, known as the Little Rock Nine, and their plight drew national attention. President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent in federal troops to protect the students and let them enter the school safely. By the end of September, all nine had been admitted to Little Rock Central High School, marking a major victory in the fight for civil rights in education. https://artmeripol.com/Projects/US-Civil-Rights-Trail/16/pf-media/13_LRCentralHallways.jpg13_LRCentralHallwaysLittle Rock Central High School is still a big busy school full of students.

Joseph McNeil, Franklin McCain, Ezell Blair Jr. and David Richmond were refused service, but they remained sitting at the counter until the store closed that night. Over the next three days, the sit-in continued to grow, and on February 4, more than 300 students participated in the sit-in, which expanded to nearby businesses. The sit-ins extended into July of 1960. This first sit-in at Woolworth’s inspired a larger sit-in movement across North Carolina and the rest of the country. https://artmeripol.com/Projects/US-Civil-Rights-Trail/19/pf-media/17_St.CharlesStreetcar.jpg17_St.CharlesStreetcarNew Orleans is a landmark site for public school integration for two reasons: a courthouse and its judges, and a brave little girl named Ruby Bridges. At age 6, Ruby was the only African-American student to attend William Frantz Elementary upon its integration. Escorted by federal marshals, she faced an angry mob of segregationists, daily threats to her well-being and intense harassment. Nevertheless, she continued attending the school, and many community members, both black and white, stepped in to protect her. Ruby became a symbol of hope and bravery during the nationwide battle for school integration.The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit was home to the “Fifth Four,” four judges who contributed to several landmark decisions regarding school desegregation. It was because of these judges that children like Ruby were able to attend formerly all-white schools and be educated alongside white students. https://artmeripol.com/Projects/US-Civil-Rights-Trail/20/pf-media/18_Franz.jpg18_FranzIn 1960, 6-year-old Ruby Bridges became the first black student to attend previously all-white William Frantz Elementary School. While the former William Frantz Elementary building now houses Akili Academy, a charter school, Ruby’s legacy is preserved at the site. A statue of Ruby stands in the school’s courtyard, and classroom 2306 has been restored to the way it would have looked when she attended the school.

This private home – now a National Historic Landmark – has been turned into a museum and restored to look as it did when the Evers family lived there. Following the Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, Evers worked hard to gain admission for black students to the University of Mississippi, a public university in Oxford. The first NAACP field secretary for Mississippi, Evers also helped organize boycotts and led voter registration drives. Because he thought Mississippi was “too racist and violent” for lunch counter sit-ins, “The Tougaloo Nine” chose the Jackson Public Library for their famous sit-in. Evers was assassinated by a Ku Klux Klan member in 1963, the same day President John F. Kennedy delivered his civil rights address. The city of Jackson erected a statue in honor of Evers in 1992, and his home is a National Historic Landmark. https://artmeripol.com/Projects/US-Civil-Rights-Trail/22/pf-media/20_EversStatue_Home.jpg20_EversStatue_HomeL-Medgar Evers statue outside the Medgar Evers Library in Jackson MississippiR-In his bedroom at the Medgar Evers Home, now a museum. https://artmeripol.com/Projects/US-Civil-Rights-Trail/23/pf-media/23_DrMinnieWatson_EversHome.jpg23_DrMinnieWatson_EversHomeDr. Minnie R.

Consequently, Tuskegee Institute was one of a very few American institutions - and the only African American institution - to own, develop, and control facilities for military flight instruction.Moton Field was the only primary flight training facility for African American pilot candidates in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II. Thus, the facility symbolizes the entrance of African American pilots into the Army Air Corps and the singular role of Tuskegee Institute in providing economic and educational resources to make that entry possible, although on a segregated basis. The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African American soldiers to successfully complete their training and enter the Army Air Corps . Almost 1000 aviators were produced as America's first African American military pilots. In addition, more than 10,000 military and civilian African American men and women served in a variety of support roles.Although military leaders were hesitant to use the Tuskegee Airmen in combat, the airmen eventually saw considerable action in North Africa and Europe. Acceptance from Army Air Forces units came slowly, but their courageous and, in many cases, heroic performance earned them increased combat opportunities and respect.The success of the Tuskegee Airmen proved to the American public that African Americans, when given the opportunity, could become effective military leaders and pilots. Modeled on the professionalism of Chief Alfred Anderson, Benjamin O. Davis, and Daniel "Chappie" James, their performance helped pave the way for desegregation of the military, beginning with President Harry S Truman's Executive Order 9981 in 1948. It also helped set the stage for civil rights advocates to continue the struggle to end racial discrimination during the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. Consequently, the story of the Tuskegee Airmen constitutes a powerful and seminal metaphor for the struggle of African American freedom in America. https://artmeripol.com/Projects/US-Civil-Rights-Trail/32/pf-media/GreyHoundWebpage.jpgGreyHoundWebpageThe Greyhound bus station was a stop of the 1961 Freedom Riders, a group of Blacks and Whites who rode buses together across state lines to disobey segregation laws in the Deep South. A mob attacked and severely beat the Freedom Riders who arrived at Birmingham's Trailways bus station in May 1961. Birmingham Public Safety Commissioner Bull Connor stated that, although he knew the Freedom Riders were arriving and violence awaited them, he posted no police protection at the station because it was Mother’s Day. https://artmeripol.com/Projects/US-Civil-Rights-Trail/33/pf-media/GastonWebpage.jpgGastonWebpageThe A.G.
