SUMMARY:Road Trip To The National Monument For Peace And Justice
DESCRIPTION:The Chilton County Democratic Party is pleased to announce our upcoming road trip to the National Monument For Peace And Justice on 10-30-2025. \nThe Legacy Sites invite visitors to reckon with our history of racial injustice in places where that history was lived. \nSituated on lands occupied by Indigenous people for centuries\, in a region that once held the largest population of enslaved Black people and would later become the heart of the Civil Rights movement\, the Legacy Sites offer visitors a powerful opportunity to engage with history and begin an era of truth telling. \nAbout the Sites \nThree spaces.\nOne powerful experience.\n\nSculpture by Kwame Akoto-Bamfo depicts a man wearing an iron collar like those used on people kidnapped from Africa and trafficked to the Americas during the Transatlantic Slave Trade. \nThe Legacy Museum\nThe Legacy Museum offers a powerful\, immersive journey through America’s history of racial injustice. \nOn the site of a cotton warehouse where enslaved Black people were forced to labor in bondage\, the Legacy Museum tells the story of slavery in America and its legacy through interactive media\, first-person narratives\, world-class art\, and data-rich exhibits. \nTravel through a comprehensive history of the destructive violence that shaped our nation\, from the slave trade\, to the era of Jim Crow and racial terror lynchings\, to our current mass incarceration crisis—and find inspiration in our soaring Reflection Space and world-class art gallery. \n \nThe National Memorial for Peace and Justice\nThe National Memorial is a sacred space for truth telling and reflection about racial terrorism and its legacy. \nOn 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. \nMore 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. \n \nFreedom Monument Sculpture Park\nOverlooking the Alabama River\, Freedom Monument Sculpture Park honors the lives and memories of the 10 million Black people who were enslaved in America and celebrates their courage and resilience. \nAt this 17-acre site along the very river where tens of thousands of enslaved people were trafficked\, breathtaking art and original artifacts invite an immersive\, interactive journey and provide a unique view into the lives of enslaved people. \nListen to Muscogee family stories as they were told centuries ago on this very spot. Step inside a train car like those used to traffic enslaved people to Montgomery as you hear trains pass on nearby tracks originally laid by enslaved people. Stand before an authentic dwelling inhabited by enslaved people and marvel at sculptures created from bricks made by enslaved artisans. \nDETAILS AND SCHEDULE\nWHEN: Thursday\, October 30th\, 2025 \nADDRESS: 400 N.
