Confronting a Legacy of Racial Terror

A new memorial and museum dedicated to the legacy of racial violence, lynching and injustice in America has opened in Montgomery, Alabama.

Andrew Yawn is a journalist with the Montgomery Advertiser, a paper that has began to atone for their past coverage of lynching.

He describes how the National Memorial for Peace and Justice and Legacy Museum is not only a place of reconciliation, but a place that is making America confront its violent racist past.
