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.

I took my sister on a whirlwind tour of important sites in the Civil Rights Movement for her birthday. I’m so glad I came across a listing for Jake Williams’ tour! Mr Williams is an amazing historian and advocate for Montgomery, Alabama. He not only shared his own personal experience during the March to Selma but he showed us all of the sites in Montgomery and taught us the history that took place in each location. We retraced the route from Selma to Montgomery and traveled through his home County of Lowndes County as well. This was a once in a lifetime experience that I am so grateful for. I left wanting to return to Montgomery as soon as possible and have been encouraging everyone to go there and take his tour. Trust me, book this tour.
