The Legacy Sites invite visitors to engage with the history of racial injustice in places where that history unfolded. Located on lands long inhabited by Indigenous communities and in a region that once held the largest population of enslaved Black people before becoming a center of the Civil Rights Movement, the sites encourage reflection, learning, and honest engagement with the past through truth-telling and public history.

The Legacy Sites include four distinct spaces:

• The Legacy Museum explores the history of racial injustice in the United States, tracing its impact from the transatlantic slave trade and slavery through the era of racial terror and segregation to the present day. Through immersive exhibits, art, and reflection spaces, the museum examines the enduring legacy of these histories.
• The National Memorial for Peace and Justice is a memorial dedicated to the victims of racial terror lynchings. It serves as a space for remembrance, reflection, and truth-telling about the legacy of racial violence in the United States.
• Freedom Monument Sculpture Park honors the lives, resilience, and contributions of the millions of Black people who were enslaved in America. Set along the Alabama River, the park combines art, historical artifacts, and interactive experiences to tell the stories of those whose lives shaped the nation.
• Montgomery Square connects visitors to key moments of the Civil Rights Movement through the historic sites where they took place. The experience follows the movement from the Montgomery Bus Boycott to the Selma-to-Montgomery marches, highlighting the events that led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act.
