The Summit included speakers such as Sherrilyn Ifill the Director Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Anthony Ray Hinton, who spent 30 years as a death row prisoner until he was represented by the EJI and proven innocent in his case, and Former Vice-President Al Gore who discussed Climate Change and Environmental Justice.

In order to make the museum and the memorial more accessible, the EJI financially reduced admissions pricing to a single $5.00 ticket to visit both locations.

The sections throughout the museum include slavery, reconstruction, lynching and terror, Jim Crow, segregation and the Civil Rights Era, injustice in the judicial system and mass incarceration.
