The Equal Justice Initiative announced Wednesday it is building a 17-acre park to memorialize the history of slavery in America - including a monument to the 4 million enslaved African Americans emancipated after the Civil War.
The Freedom Sculpture Monument Park will open in early 2024, EJI said. The park will become the third component in the EJI’s Legacy Sites in Montgomery, joining the Legacy Museum, which examines the history of slavery and its aftermath, and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, an outdoor memorial to victims of lynching,
The Freedom Monument Sculpture Park will feature newly commissioned works by artists Alison Saar and Kwame Akoto-Bamfo and sculptors Wangechi Mutu, Rose B. Simpson, Theaster Gates, and Kehinde Wiley . Stevenson founded EJI in 1989, won national acclaim as a lawyer representing death row inmates and others, and wrote the best-selling book, “Just Mercy,” the story of exonerated death row inmate Walter McMillian, which was developed into a movie starring Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx.
