One of the most moving memorial centers i gave ever experienced. Updated to commemorate the most recent evils. Not only does the museum commemorate the African-American suffrage, but it is inclusive of all minorities, experiencing racism and marginalization.

The Civil Rights Memorial is a thoughtful tribute to the africans who were victims of murdered through legal and illegal lynching. You feel their spirits crying out for justice.

I felt the impact even more when I found one of my great granddads' names hanging there. I had no idea how close the injustice was to my family.

The Memorial reminded us of all the forgotten african ancestors who were murdered through the injustice of a society that didn't value their lives. A must-see exhibit for those interested in the history of the African in the American South.

While in Montgomery for work, I visited the Civil Rights Memorial the weekend before Election Day, in the heart of the Confederacy, where some monuments still stand.

The 'Traveling While Black" exhibit is a virtual reality experience, allowing you to sit in on conversations at Ben's Chili Bowl (a safe haven for Blacks), as we weren't welcomed in restaurants, hotels, gas stations, etc. on our journeys. It'll be open until January.

Stirring, haunting presentations of this country's racial struggles were admittedly hard to watch, but this visit was needed. Though hurtful, it's necessary to see where we've come from to forge the path toward equality and justice for ALL. The division I see daily makes me sad for humanity, but I know there is hope. Change starts with ALL OF US. Let's purposely show that we matter to each other!
