"Today, in Montgomery, the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, dedicated to the legacy of enslaved black people, victims of lynching, and African Americans who have been victimized by white supremacy, will open its doors to visitors."

"In order to move forward as a nation we must be willing to look back on our past and grapple with it. Not only that, we must learn hard lessons and strive, always, to correct its failures."

"I truly applaud Dr. Stevenson, not just for his vision in creating the @MemPeaceJustice, but for his vital work as an attorney, professor and Exec Dir of @eji_org."

"As @LegacyMuseum & @MemPeaceJustice welcome the first visitors, take a moment to think of the injustice suffered by so many African-Americans, not just in the South, or in the past, but today & everywhere where Dr King's Dream remains unrealized & the cause of justice, unfinished"
