Our final stop in Montgomery visiting the extremely powerful @LegacySites
I would be doing in injustice if I didn't recommend @LegacySites in my hometown of Montgomery, AL. Everyone should visit both.
Every member of Congress should be required to visit the @HolocaustMuseum.
A must see experience.

The pursuit of racial justice & reconciliation cannot be done without educating ourselves about the truth of our past. The NAE & #NationalUnityWeekend took a group to the @LegacyMuseum to remember the past so we can be equipped to pursue justice & reconciliation together.
It’s always great to see these friends representing at the @LegacyMuseum bookstore.
Powerful visit to @eji_org Legacy Museum. I’m still processing… forever learning. What they’re doing in this place and with this place — telling truth, reclaiming stories, and helping heal so new narratives can be formed — is not just a model for the South but for the country.
@SashaPanaram @dstfelix @NewYorker Great story. Visited the The Legacy Museum & The National Memorial for Peace and Justice back in 3/2022, first post-pandemic trip out of Texas. Really worth the drive from Houston. Looks like I need to make another visit.
This past weekend, 904WARD took a ground of young professionals on a Pilgrimage to Montgomery to visit the Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice by @eji_org These trips are always special with each group of attendees. Thank you all for being open to…
@itspastorchris @dorenawill @tweetraychang @mika_edmondson @DrCEdmondson @LatashaMorrison @BerniceKing We've been to the Legacy Museum twice and it's such a powerful and moving experience. We're currently trying to arrange for a group from Koinonia to go.
A visit to the EJI’s Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, AL will legit change your life.

Santa Clara DA Rosen recognizes the #deathpenalty is rooted in a legacy of racism. @LegacySites documents this - from the execution of enslaved people, to the terror and lynching of Black people, to the criminal legal system of executions we have today. #ConfrontRacism
We applaud DA Rosen for recognizing the death penalty’s racist roots as documented by @LegacySites: from the execution of enslaved people, to the terrorizing and lynching of Black people, to the criminal legal system of executions we have today. #DeathPenalty #ConfrontRacism

The death penalty is a hollow promise that drains money and attention away from helping victims’ families. California must do more to help all victims heal and support robust funding for victim services that last a lifetime. @LegacySites #DeathPenalty #BiasedBeyondRepair
After visiting @eji_org, @Jeff_Rosen, DA of Santa Clara, realized he couldn't support the death penalty, past or present. Now, he's asking for the capital sentences of 15 men on death row to be dropped. latimes.com/california/sto…
