密西西比州纪念活动展出私刑受害者纪念碑
Read, Watch or Listen
Jackson, Mississippi. State museum organizers unveiled prominent exhibits this week at the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum and the Museum of Mississippi History, collectively known as the Two Mississippi Museums, as part of America 250 commemorations; the displays include a Lynching Victims Monolith etched with the names and motives for more than 600 documented racial killings. Visitors this week reacted emotionally to the Monolith and related exhibits, with one visitor noting many victims remain unrecorded; the reporting cites a 1949 case, Malcolm Wright, as an exemplar, and museums position the displays to inform public understanding, education and commemorative programming during the anniversary period.
