Had a great stop in Montgomery where we visited the Alabama State Capital, Rosa Parks Library and Museum, Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church and Civil Rights Memorial and Center. For $1 each per day we rode the narrated trolley around the city then got off at the historical landmarks. What an emotional education for us as the museums were very well done. We met Tony and Barb from California and hooked up for more touring of museums and memorials in Selma plus a couple of short visits to the casinos. Tony and Barb are standing at the start of the Edmund Pettus Bridge where 'Bloody Sunday' happened March 7, 1965 and where Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. and hundreds of courageous men, women and children crossed to march the 54 miles from Selma to the State Capital in Montgomery 3 wks later. April 23rd, John and I are on the road again moving to Decatur to soak up more of Alabama's rich history.
