“That’s the genius of the museum’s design. It neither shies away from nor revels in the horrors it asks you to contemplate. … It grabs you by the throat but makes sure not to choke you. It confronts without condemning. It provides hope through the sculptures, and footprints, of brave women in Montgomery who were the catalyst for the Civil Rights Movement. They overcame and so can we.”
