Bich Nguyen:The glass panels of the Lynching Victims Monolith are simple, etched with the names of more than 600 victims of documented racial killings in Mississippi, along with the attackers’ motives...The panels are among thousands of exhibits and artifacts inside the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum and the adjoining Museum of Mississippi History."

Mississippi's take on America at 250 is a stark contrast to federal efforts
America’s history is being seen through different lenses as the country celebrates its 250th anniversary. The Trump administration has taken steps to whitewash certain parts of the nation’s past that tell uncomfortable truths. But many states and local communities are taking an entirely different approach. Mississippi is among them, and it sees the anniversary as an opportunity to tell a story that doesn’t shrink from revealing the uglier parts of its past. Mississippi's civil rights and state history museums are central to the state's 250th celebration. Both aim to tell the state's full history, from the removal of Native Americans to slavery and the Jim Crow era.
