Equal Justice Initiative’s (EJI) Freedom Monument Sculpture Park in Montgomery has made The New York Times’ list of the world’s top travel destinations for 2024.

The New York Times identifies only 52 places around the world and writes that EJI’s Legacy Sites is an especially inspiring experience for travelers interested in American history and its legacy.

The New York Times encourages visitors to come to Montgomery, Alabama, in 2024 to experience the new Freedom Monument Sculpture Park, a 17-acre park that will exhibit works by world-class artists like Kehinde Wiley, Simone Leigh and Alison Saar, as well as artifacts, including dwellings relocated from a cotton plantation and a pen where enslaved people were held. The sculpture park is expected to open this year, but a date has not been announced.
