As I walked through the memorial, I saw the counties of other states with the names and dates of lynchings. As I progressed, I began to see Louisiana parishes, and the markers went from being at eye level to looking upward. — PolitiTweet.org

The National Memorial for Peace and Justice was a painful lesson of the lynchings of African Americans for reasons ranging from being black and in the wrong place at the wrong time to registering to vote or looking at a white person. https://t.co/Wib93eyJiM — PolitiTweet.org

I saw parish after parish, listing after listing, until reaching the end of the alphabet and realized that almost all, 57 of 64 to be exact, of Louisiana's parishes were noted. Looking up at each large human-sized marker, you realize it represents the lynching itself. — PolitiTweet.org
