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 went on the. 6 hour private tour of Montgomery and Selma with Jake Williams. It was outstanding! Jake is a gentleman and a professional. He also was a participant in the March between Selma and Montgomery. His first hand knowledge of the events helped make this a very special experience. Anyone who is considering visiting this area should take his tour. You will leave feeling that you have gained tremendous insight into the events that unfolded here. Highly, highly recommended.

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.
