Hope you get here, Brendan, especially to the Deep South. There are vast differences between, say, Arlington, Virginia, and small towns in Alabama or Mississippi.
You might especially keep in your sightlines the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, which is a trailblazing attempt to come to terms with the racist past of the Deep South, including by remembering individual lynching victims. It's had a profound emotional impact on people I know who've visited.
