Freedom Monument Sculpture Park in Montgomery, Alabama opens on March 27.
Bryan Stevenson, the founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, has spent much of his career studying how slavery has shaped American life. But until 2021, he had never visited a plantation. When he finally did, he was “struck by how much the architecture of these spaces is organized around white supremacy,” Stevenson said. Compared with the “romance and prestige” of the big house, where the enslavers lived, the dwellings of enslaved people were, he recalls, “literally marginalized.
Before arriving at this triumphant moment, however, visitors traverse a sculpture park unlike any other. This is a cultural institution developed by lawyers. It does not present art objects as elusive, many-headed hydras that encourage multiple interpretations.
