EJI Legacy Museum first, then a ferry across the Alabama River to the sculpture garden — forty degrees, outdoor, you stay as long as you can. Bus back to EJI. Then drove to the National Memorial for Peace and Justice: 800 steel columns, one for every county where a lynching was documented, hanging from cables at eye level. You walk through slowly. There's no rushing it.

Left Montgomery on a country road west through Alabama. Came through Selma as the afternoon went grey. Into Mississippi, into Jackson after dark. Quick dinner. That was enough.
