Opened in 2018 by the Equal Justice Initiative, this unflinching and uncompromising museum tackles the history and legacy of slavery and racial discrimination head-on. The Legacy Museum is located on the site of one of the country’s most prominent slave markets and also includes the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, where sculptures and columns represent lynching victims. A sobering experience, and an essential one.
