6. The National Memorial For Peace And Justice

The national lynching memorial is a sacred space for truth-telling and reflection about racial terror in America and its legacy. While not typically “Instagrammable”, it’s an example of how important it is to keep sharing history such as this with an audience so that the past does not repeat itself.
