703 Public History Reviews Advancing these debates at the national level helps guarantee that all Americans have equal opportunity to tell their stories through place. Revisions to policy language and holistic rethinking of designation programs are collaborative actions that will invite more members of the public to participate in commemorative processes. Given contemporary discourses on Latinx citizenship, immigration, and belonging, these eforts to widen the boundaries around the nation’s collective memory are an essential step to achieving social justice in our communities.

In April 2018 the Equal Justice Initiative (eji) in Montgomery, Alabama, simultaneously opened the Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice. Trough diverse forms of memorialization and audience engagement, each encourages a national and personal reckoning with the violent and racist histories of the United States, as well as forging links to the contemporary struggles of African Americans and other minori- ties in America. Both the National Memorial for Peace and Justice and the Legacy Museum are out- comes of eji’s larger project against racial bias in American society and systems. For the frst few decades of its existence, the main venue for eji’s work was the legal system; but as the initiative’s founder Bryan Stevenson has noted, U.S. courts still tolerate a certain level of inequality that is easily apparent in police and prison statistics of contemporary America. Te understanding of racial bias needed to be broader to efect the profound change for which eji is advocating, and Stevenson began to consider how best to make the historical and contemporary conditions of inequality more present and resonant. Te memorial and the museum are the most recent results of this process, and they arguably mark a beginning of a new kind of historical dialogue for the nation, which had never memorialized its histories of slavery and oppression in such scale (although the Smith- sonian National Museum of African American History and Culture opened in 2016 Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/jah/article/106/3/703/5628999 by University of California, Riverside Library Tech.
