<p>On Friday, <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/05/a-new-lynching-memorial-confronts-americas-history-of-racial-terrorism.html">Slate</a> published a beautifully-written essay by Jamelle Bouie about the new National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, which pays tribute to those who were lynched by white mobs between the Civil War and the civil rights movement. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/05/a-new-lynching-memorial-confronts-americas-history-of-racial-terrorism.html">Bouie&#8217;s description</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The central structure of the memorial is a looming cloister where 800 steel columns hang from the roof. On each column is a state, a county, and the names of everyone lynched there, along with the dates of their deaths. The columns start at eye level, but as you walk through the memorial, the floor descends and the structures hang like so many victims. You, the visitor, become a kind of witness to the ritualistic murders that claimed at least 4,000 black Americans <a href="https://eji.org/reports/lynching-in-america">between 1877 and 1950</a>: from the collapse of Reconstruction to the beginning of the end of Jim Crow. The scale of that killing becomes clear in an adjacent room, where replicas of those hanging steel structures are placed like coffins on the ground, arranged in alphabetical order for visitors who want to find the one that marks their town or county.</p>
