Today is the Grand Opening of EJI's new Gift Shop at 121 Coosa Street in downtown Montgomery, Alabama. Located next door to the Legacy Museum, the Gift Shop features a Starbucks Café with fresh baked goods from Little Red Cupcake, a bookstore, and space for visitors to reflect on and share their experiences at the museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice.
To celebrate the Grand Opening today from 10 am to 11 am, Anthony Ray Hinton will be signing copies of his book, The Sun Does Shine, which is Oprah's newest Book Club selection. Free cupcakes and brownies will be available throughout the day, and EJI invites everyone to stop by and browse the wide selection of posters, tshirts, and books on racial history and social justice.
The Café is open daily from 7:30am to 6pm. The Bookstore is open daily from 9am to 8pm and on Sunday from 9am to 6pm. The Gift Shop is closed on Tuesdays.
