On March 31, 2026, hundreds of people joined EJI for the dedication of Montgomery Square in Montgomery, Alabama. An addition to the Legacy Sites, Montgomery Square honors the Montgomery decade that changed the world. From 1955 to 1965, Black residents with extraordinary courage and determination stood up against racial injustice here in Montgomery and sparked a movement that transformed our country and the world. We were thrilled to be joined by civil rights leaders and Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed, and to enjoy inspiring performances by Booker T. Washington Magnet High School’s choir and Grammy award-winning gospel artist Le’Andria Johnson. Learn more about Montgomery Square and plan your visit: https://montgomerysquare.eji.org
