Yesterday was historical: The Equal Justice Initiative's National Memorial for Peace and Justice opened in Montgomery. This Memorial begins to break the silence on lynching.

One of the speakers during opening day activities, Reverend Barber, asked if we can memorialize the lynchings of the past without talking about today’s injustices.

As Montgomery's new museum, The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration, points out, mass incarceration continues the injustices of the past. As Alabama’s Attorney General, I will work so we have needed criminal justice reform.

Alabama has too many young men in prison, not school. Non-violent offenders need education and job skills, not to be warehoused in prisons. Many need mental health treatment or drug treatment, not prison.

Our state’s mass incarceration hurts those needlessly imprisoned, creates expensive burdens for taxpayers, and hurts the future of our state. Yesterday in Montgomery marked that we can move Alabama forward.
