EJI's New Legacy Museum



We visited EJI’s new Legacy Museum on January 3, 2019 in
Montgomery, Alabama.

We were not allowed to take pictures inside The Legacy
Museum, in Montgomery Alabama when we visited on Jan. 3, 2019 – and security
was tight. The museum is not for the faint of heart. The museum is “An
unparalleled resource for researchers, the museum houses the nation's most
comprehensive collection of data on lynching. It also presents previously
unseen archival information about the domestic slave trade brought to life
through new technology…

“The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration opened to the public on April 26, 2018, in Montgomery, Alabama. The 11,000-square-foot museum is built on the site of a former warehouse where enslaved black people were imprisoned, and is located midway between an historic slave market and the main river dock and train station where tens of thousands of enslaved people were trafficked during the height of the domestic slave trade…”

Much more information about “The Legacy Museum: From
Enslavement to Mass Incarceration,” can be found at the website for the museum
here: https://museumandmemorial.eji.org/museum
