WCCRC mission…

     …to educate ourselves (in in turn our communities) on our shared history of racial violence

     …to establish collaborations between change agents in our community

     …to return home with the inspiration, information, and connections to effect positive change

We will visit the following EJI sites:
…The Legacy Museum
The museum examines the full 400-year scope of American systems of racist oppression, from chattel slavery through Jim Crow segregation to mass incarceration today.

…The National Memorial for Peace and Justice
On a hill overlooking downtown Montgomery, a series of steel columns symbolically hang in rows around a green square, honoring more than 4,000 lynching victims. Each column represents a county where at least one confirmed lynching occurred. It is a solemn tribute and place of quiet reflection.

…Freedom Monument Sculpture Park
This 17-acre park situated on the banks of the Alabama River has over 50 works of art by internationally famous artists. The art depicts the humanity, dignity, resilience, and resistance of those facing brutality and oppression.
