The Legacy Sites in Montgomery will offer free admission to commemorate Juneteenth.

On Wednesday, June 19, visitors will not have to purchase the $5 hourly tickets to view exhibits at the Legacy Museum, the National Memorial for Peace and Justice and the Freedom Monument Sculpture Park.

The Legacy Museum is Alabama’s second-most attended paid attraction behind the U.S. Space & Rocket Museum in Huntsville, according to the Alabama Tourism Department.

The museum, conceptualized by attorney Bryan Stevenson, traces the history of slavery, the African-American experience and the issue of mass incarceration in the U.S.

One exhibit features 800 jars of soil collected from lynching sites across the country, with the names of victims on the labels. Another exhibit allows visitors to take a poll test with actual questions that were used to deny Black people the right to vote.

There are more than 200 new sculptures by African artists, animated short films about the abduction and trafficking of millions of Black people as part of the slave trade, and a room called the Reflection Space with their portraits and biographies of 400 influential Black leaders.

The tour ends with an art gallery of Black artists with the photography of Gordon Parks, the quilts of the Gee’s Bend quilters and the leatherwork art of Winfred Rembert.

“We’re really proud that people have an opportunity to experience this,” Stevenson told AL.com ahead of the museum opening its expansion in 2021.

A smaller version of the museum opened in 2018, along with the National Memorial to Peace and Justice, an outdoor monument to lynching victims. That monument is about a mile away from the museum.

The Freedom Monument Sculpture Park opened earlier this year. The park features pieces by artists Alison Saar, Kwame Akoto-Bamfo, Wangechi Mutu, Rose B. Simpson, Theaster Gates, Kehinde Wiley and more.

The Equal Justice Initiative, which created the Legacy Sites, will also host a concert at the Montgomery Performing Arts Centre at 7:30 p.m. June 19. Performers include Wynton Marsalis, Esperanza Spalding, Lizz Wright, Samara Joy and Cory Henry.

Tickets for the Legacy Sites Juneteenth Celebration Concert start at $25.

Juneteenth is a state and federal holiday that celebrates the end of slavery in the U.S. It commemorates the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation barring slavery in Texas in 1865.
