THE NATIONAL MEMORIAL FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE
THE NATIONAL MEMORIAL FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE
Overview Museum Memorial Monument
THE NATIONAL MEMORIAL IS A SACRED SPACE FOR TRUTH TELLING AND REFLECTION ABOUT
RACIAL TERRORISM AND ITS LEGACY.
On a hilltop overlooking Montgomery is the nation’s first comprehensive memorial
dedicated to the legacy of Black Americans who were enslaved, terrorized by
lynching, humiliated by racial segregation, and presumed guilty and dangerous.
More than 4,400 Black people killed in racial terror lynchings between 1877 and
1950 are remembered here. Their names are engraved on more than 800 corten steel
monuments—one for each county where a racial terror lynching took place—that
form the main structure of the memorial at the heart of this six-acre site.

CONFRONTING RACIAL TERROR LYNCHING IN AMERICA
CONFRONTING RACIAL TERROR LYNCHING IN AMERICA
Racially motivated violence and lynchings continued after 1950, often targeting
early civil rights leaders and Black people whose success challenged white
supremacy.
EJI has documented nearly 6,500 racial terror lynchings in America between 1865
and 1950. Thousands more Black people whose deaths may never be discovered have
been killed by white mob lynchings.
The 1866 Memphis Massacre is one of more than 30 mass lynchings documented
during the Reconstruction era.
The National Memorial documents more than 4,500 racial terror lynchings between
1877 and 1950, the most active era of racial terror lynchings in America.
Many Black veterans were targeted for mistreatment, violence, and murder during
the lynching era due to their race and military experience. Learn more about the
culture of targeted violence and social humiliation facing Black veterans.
African Americans combatted the terror of lynching through grassroots activism.
To thwart lynching attempts, Black people risked serious harm to hide fugitives,
organized sentinels to guard prisoners against lynch mobs, and engaged in armed
self-defense.

Racial terror lynchings were violent and public acts of torture that traumatized
Black people throughout the country. Tolerated and often aided by law
enforcement and elected officials and designed to re-establish racial hierarchy
after the Civil War, lynching was terrorism.
Racial terror lynching left thousands dead, significantly marginalized Black
people politically, financially, and socially, and inflicted deep traumatic
wounds on survivors, witnesses, and the entire African American community that
fester to this day.
Publicly confronting the truth about our history is the first step towards
recovery and reconciliation.
