The National Memorial for Peace and Justice is a memorial due to it memorializing the lynchings and deaths of "victims of racial terror" (EJI: The National Memorial for Peace and Justice), and not being held on a tall pedestal or an individual statue, but a building. I discovered that this memorial has many parts to it, including the long walkway shown in the picture above. At first the long name poles are to your sides and around you, but then they slowly proceed to hover above you. The artistic decision was made due to the lynchings being "hung" above you, and so that the history and deaths of these people would be hung over you. The quotes on the sides honor the people that have passed on and stand as a reminder of this horrible time. There are also the statues on the sides of the walkways, including the picture of the black individuals in chains. This is very memorable and captivating because it is a harsh picture most memorials don't show. It shows the life of racial captivation in the twentieth century.
