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

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

The "graves" were simply overwhelming and flat out emotional realizing the numbers of lynchings that occurred in my state of Louisiana. This was a time in our history that we can all agree was a dark time that should never be repeated. — PolitiTweet.org
