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

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

Upon exiting this portion of the memorial, you walk out into daylight to find words of peace and reconciliation, yet the next viewing is a representation of grave markers. It was then that the shock wore off and the reality of what occurred hit. — PolitiTweet.org
