Montgomery is now a must see location on the Civil Rights Tour
Montgomery in Alabama is where the Modern Civil Rights got its start when Rosa Parks refusal to give up her seat on the city bus gave rise the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955.
Young Martin Luther King Jr. was the new Black Baptist minister in town and was chosen to lead the boycott.
Montgomery is also where Jefferson Davis of the Confederacy was sworn in as president and where he later sent the orders to fire on Ft. Sumter, initiating the Civil War.
Tour Highlights: Rosa Parks Museum, The Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church, Greyhound Bus Station (Freedom Riders Bus Station), The Legacy Museum, National Center for Peace and Justice, Freedom Monument Sculpture Park, National Civil Rights Memorial Center.

Roger was an excellent tour guide! My son may be moving to Atlanta and wanted an overview of the neighborhoods to narrow down where he’d want to live. Roger was so helpful, knowledgeable and engaging that we thoroughly enjoyed the tour! We could never have covered that much ground ourselves and learned so much about Atlanta. Thanks Roger, you’re awesome!
