The National Memorial for Peace & Justice and Legacy Museum have both officially reopened with new exhibits. However, tickets are required due to limited capacity and social distancing precautions.

Located outdoors on a six-acre park, this sacred space is the nation’s first and only memorial dedicated to the legacy of enslaved African Americans who died by lynching. Since opening to the public in April 2018, the thought-provoking cultural experience has been visited by more than 800,000 visitors.
