Lynching Memorial

6471: This April 28, 2018 photo shows a poem by Toni Morrison inscribed on a wall at the new National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama. The memorial documents more than 4,400 racial terror lynchings that took place between 1877 and 1950, but the grounds of the 6-acre site also include sculptures and places for reflection. The poem ends with the words, "Love your heart, for this is the prize." (AP Photo/Beth J. Harpaz)
