We are proud to announce the creation of the Montgomery Community Remembrance Project a community coalition to create space to remember and memorialize victims of lynching and racial violence in Montgomery County.
The Montgomery-based Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) has done extraordinary work to foster a national conversation about, and reckoning with, America’s history of lynching and racial terror. EJI’s National Memorial for Peace and Justice includes monuments that are intended to be claimed and brought home by the counties where the victims were lynched, asking us to literally take ownership of our past — and think about our present.
