The Gravity of the Memorial

The monoliths are rust color metal rectangles engraved on each state, county and the names of people who've been lynched. I could spent hours just walking the pavilion. But there's a structure in the main exhibitthat has its own gravity. There are no walls, just a roof and what looks like columns. When you get closer, you see the columns are suspended from the roof to the wood decked floor. It is an awesome and heavy feeling as their names rise to the heavens and you go deeper into the earth as a light from outside emerges.
