“As a Southerner and an American . . . I consider this to be one of the great memorials of the world and a must-do experience for every woman, man and child.”

“The most moving experience that we had in Montgomery. I did not see a single person leave the museum without tears rolling down their cheeks.”

“I want to go back. It's an incredibly emotional and thought-provoking confrontation with the past that links the history to what's going on now.”

“[I]t’s as if you’re standing where history happened. You’re confronted with information lost in textbooks and see things you won’t forget.”

“I am not prone to hyperbole, but the trip to the Legacy Museum and National Memorial for Peace and Justice has changed my life. I believed I was knowledgeable about the history of racism in the United States, but I walked away shocked at what I learned and experienced there.”

“[N]othing compares to the impact of being there...I've never felt more connected to people through time and space than I do after that experience. It's given me newfound courage to continue in the work of racial healing.”

“The surprise, to me, is that a day at the museum and memorial didn’t diminish my feelings of patriotism—quite the opposite. The story is packed with heroes who pushed back, at grave peril, working to shape a better country.”

“[T]his should be a field trip for every high-schooler and a must-see for every American who claims to believe in democracy. This is how to comprehend the enormity of the legacy of enslavement.”
