I can’t wait to visit this museum/monument! Great work #BryanStevenson and @eji_org! This @60minutes video with @oprah was exactly the perfect precursor. The idea behind the pillars is heartbreaking to view and I’m sure it’s just as sad in person. Great job to the whole team. Opening April 27th in #Alabama.. #Memorial #Monument #Lynching #AmericanHistory #AmericanSouth #equaljusticeinitiative #artabovereality

⚖️#ArtIsAWeapon "Artists have the ability to depict the humanity and the dignity of people, even in the midst of something brutal and violent ... It's a tough subject. It's a challenging subject. And we wanted to use art to help people manage the weight of this history and engage in a more complete way with the lives of enslaved people." - Lawyer, Social Justice Activist, Founder of Equal Justice Initiative @eji_org Bryan Stevenson @bryanstevenson1959 .

"An Alabama sculpture park evokes the painful history of slavery" by Mark Witaker March 17, 2024

"In Montgomery, Alabama, wedged between a maze of train tracks and the river, a long-neglected plot of land has been transformed. It's now home to the #FreedomMonumentSculpturePark, the vision of lawyer and social activist #BryanStevenson.

The 17-acre park, set to open this month, is filled with nearly 50 sculptures by world-famous artists like Kehinde Wiley, Simone Leigh. and Kwame Akoto-Bamfo, collectively evoking the history of slavery in America...

It's the latest project for Stevenson, founder and director of the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), also based in Montgomery. For more than 30 years, Stevenson and his team have provided legal services to people on death row, to date helping overturn more than 140 convictions and sentences. He said understanding the racial injustices of the present begins by reckoning with the tortured legacy of the past."

All persons privileged and armed with knowledge of the law - be it judges, lawyers, paralegals, law enforcement officials etc - have an inherent and noble duty to ensure that the administration of law serves the interests of justice fairly and equally upon every human being. #justiceandequality #equaljusticeinitiative #lawyermotivation #lawyerquotes #fairnessforall #constitutionalism #humanrights https://www.instagram.com/p/CPPTwMGDpC7/?utm_medium=tumblr

This movie was dope. @iamjamiefoxx killed the performance. I also learned more about the Equal Justice Initiative which coincidentally @bungie is supporting with their BLM pin. EJI is a non profit organization that has been fighting for the freedom and life of innocent convicts for years and have won many victories. “The Equal Justice Initiative is committed to ending mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the United States, to challenging racial and economic injustice, and to protecting basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society.” #Bungie chose an excellent organization to donate to! I look forward to buying the “Be Heard” pin tomorrow if I catch it in time! — - #justmercy #eji #equaljusticeinitiative https://www.instagram.com/p/CBvaUIpFhBZ/?igshid=x2cy9ss21ol5
