6 Hours Private Civil Rights Tour of Montgomery

Overview

This tour will take us to some of the most important sites that defined the Civil Rights Movement in Alabama. Our journey will take us on a definitive and emotional story of the civil rights era that changed the fabric of American life and sparked a movement. From the pulpit where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. preached to the spot where Mrs. Rosa Parks refuse to give up her seat on a Montgomery City bus. Afterwards, we'll continue on to the Civil Rights Memorial center and many other sites related to the Civil Rights movement. It's been said that those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

What To Expect

Montgomery Tours

ITINERARY We'll begin our tour with a short tour preview with a questions and answers section. Next, we'll began our driving tour of the civil right sites throughout the city of Montgomery. We will drive past the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church, Dexter Baptist Church Parsonage and other site. We will take some time to visit The Legacy Museum and The National Memorial for Peace and Justice. Finally, we'll end our time together with a Questions and Answered section.

National Memorial for Peace and Justice

The National Memorial for Peace and Justice was conceived with the hope of creating a sober, meaningful site where people can gather and reflect on America's history of racial inequality. Set on a six-acre site, the memorial uses sculpture, art, and design to contextualize racial terror. The national memorial is a sacred space for truth-telling and reflection about racial terror in America and its legacy.

We are a group of four academics who spent two days with Jake. Not only were we immersed in the civil rights movement in Montgomery but we also incorporated a drive to Selma and a walk over the Edmund Pettus Bridge. We learned so much from a very knowledgeable man who in 1965 participated as a 12 year old in the Selma to Montgomery protest marches. We started off with a tour through Montgomery which set the stage for everything we learned along the way. You can't find a better or more passionate guide than Jake.

Fantastic private day tour with Jake Williams. Jake grew up in the area and actually participated in one day of the Selma to Montgomery Voting Rights march. He was fantastic tour guide and took us to the many places of Civil Rights interest in Montgomery, which there are many. I highly recommend spending the whole day with Jake.

Jake, the tour guide was absolutely spectacular. He picked us up from our bed and breakfast in his super nice van. He was dressed professional and had such a way about him. You can tell he has experienced so much in his lifetime and it really makes him a stellar tour guide. He’s so genuine and has so much knowledge to share. We got to see a lot of Montgomery that we would not have seen otherwise. The history and stories are heartbreaking but powerful. I can’t recommend this your enough.
