The Legacy Museum is currently located at 115 Coosa Street in Montgomery – Alabama News Network
The Montgomery-based Equal Justice Initiative says it plans to open a new Legacy Museum in the fall, which will be in a new location with much more to see inside.
The Legacy Museum will move to 400 North Court Street, in the same building that holds EJI’s Legacy Pavilion. The new space will also house the welcome center, ticket office, gift shop and Pannie-George’s Kitchen.
The new museum will keep its name, The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration.
The EJI says the museum will present new exhibits and information about the Transatlantic Slave Trade, a detailed examination of Reconstruction and a greatly expanded set of exhibits about the civil rights era, including the Montgomery Bus Boycott, resistance to racial integration and the history of voter disenfranchisement. A range of contemporary issues will also be explored.
