so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Here's the end of the article:
The memorial is located on the site of a former warehouse where African Americans were enslaved. The memorial, also known as the National Lynching Memorial, uses “interactive media, sculpture, videography, and exhibits to immerse visitors in the sights and sounds of the domestic slave trade, racial terrorism, the Jim Crow South and the world’s largest prison system,” according to its website.
“For us to see it in person, hear those stories and see those videos, it was very awakening,” center Jeremiah Tilmon said.
Missouri forward Javon Pickett linked the trip to the discussions the team had last summer as debates over social justice protests became a national topic.
“Just seeing all those different types of stories, we talked about that stuff a lot over the summer,” Pickett said. “To actually see it (and) experience it with one another was great. It just keeps building us a bigger bond,” Pickett said.
“I think it’s amazing how you sit back and talk to the guys after and, as players, just things that they say, ‘I didn’t know that. I had no clue about that.’” Martin said. “It’s American history, but they had no clue about it.”
“Any time we have opportunities to see events — not just African American, it could be anything that culturally we can grow from — let’s try to do that,” Martin said. “We owe it to our players.”
