Students Visit Equal Justice Initiative

Dr. John Giggie and the students in his Alabama Memory: Lynching in Alabama class recently visited the Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, Alabama. There they presented the research they have done so far in the class. They also visited the National Memorial for Peace and Justice and EJI’s new museum, The Legacy Museum: From Slavery to Mass Incarceration.
