29-year-old Kadita Stone is part of a new generation working to protect hard-fought civil rights gains.
She's one of the Alabama voters who sued to get a new congressional district designed to give black voters representation.
Stone says there's power in the story of how Montgomery changed America, but warns her generation needs to engage so that history does not repeat.
Americans need to consider the long view of how we got here, says attorney Bryan Stevenson, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative.
He wants people to reflect more deeply on the legacies of slavery and the brutal Jim Crow era.
Stevenson walks through Freedom Monument Sculpture Park wedged between the railroad and the banks of the Alabama River.
It's a leapy contemplative space filled with artifacts like a cramped slave holding pen and vivid sculptures depicting enslaved families in shackles.
Stevenson says this park and other public spaces EJI has created here are an attempt to change the narrative at a time when those in political power are trying to curtail the national conversation about racial injustice.
But Stevenson says getting there means confronting the things that hold America back.
