Police investigate a crime scene outside of the Barclay's Center in downtown Brooklyn on October 01, 2021 in New York City. Photo: AFPSlavery, lynchings, segregation, mass incarceration and police abuse: a museum that opens Friday in the state of Alabama traces a direct link between the racist past of the United States and today’s inequalities.
“I can’t think of another institution in America that has more profoundly shaped our economy, our politics, our social structures. And our character.”It is this information void that the Legacy Museum aims to fill, while prompting Americans to campaign against the inequality that persists today, according to Stevenson.
One wing is dedicated to the thousands of victims of lynchings of Black Americans, which occurred between 1877 and 1950. The National Lynching Memorial, located near the museum, is devoted to the same topic. The group has succeeded in acquitting several people who had been sentenced to death. In the museum, visitors can listen to them tell their stories.
