National Memorial for Peace and Justice

How apropos to visit the The National Memorial for Peace and Justice at the same time the US Senate is considering impeachment against a president, whose supporters that ransacked congress reflect the very causes raised on this hallowed spot in Montgomery. The center of the site is constructed of over 800 corten steel monuments, one for each county in the United States where thousands of racial terror lynchings took place SINCE THE CIVIL WAR. The names of the lynching victims are engraved on the columns. It is both sobering and horrifying. Similar to the effect of the Holocaust museum, people should see this to help our country remember, reconcile and to heal - it obviously still needs it.
