The National Civil Rights Museum and Just City hosted Journey to Justice, 90-minute symposium to highlight the critical work being done to change the criminal legal system throughout the country and to demonstrate how much work there is yet to do. The sessions focused on how this system impacts families and the society, how it continues to hinder returning citizens and juveniles, and what we must do to ensure opportunity, progress and safety for everyone.

The museum provides a platform for thought leaders to present research, share stories and perspectives on today’s pressing social issues, as well as the history that has led us to this point. Just City works to create a system that prioritizes fairness, decency, and equal protection under the law. Along the way, Just City has helped hundreds of people move beyond their contact with the criminal justice system. We believe Memphis and the complementary work of both organizations will serve as a unique backdrop for this important conversation.
