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.

Over 2 days, Jake Williams shared his personal involvement in the Civil Rights Movement. As someone who walked in part of the Selma march, he guided us to key locations and explained the implications of actions taken to help us understand the history of the area. We learned about Montgomery and traced the Selma march route in an air conditioned bus. Highlights of our tour included the Voting Rights museum and the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church parsonage.

When we decided to take the "Civil Rights Tour" with another couple, our friend found Jake on line and, after talking with him, decided this was the best way to see the area. How right! From the moment we met him, we knew this was would be a special trip. In addition to his knowledge and personal experiences which are covered in other reviews, Jake is accommodating and willing to work with your schedule. After the arrival of our friends' plane was delayed, he was able to adjust his schedule to allow us to see everything in two half days instead of one. He drives a very clean passenger van with a microphone system that actually works. His recommendations for restaurants and activities were spot on. Jake started as a tour guide, but ended up a friend.

Jake's encyclopedic knowledge and genuine concern for his 'clients' combine to provide an unforgettable, compelling tour of this volcano of the Civil Rights Movement. From Selma, to the Rosa Parks Museum to Marion, where the Movement began, Jake recounted history as only someone who has lived it can. Himself a marcher to Montgomery, at 13, he crafts a personalized experience based on your interests. He even drove us to a theater one evening waiting 2 hours to return us to our hotel. I wish every American could experience the Legacy Museum, and for lack of a better term, the 'lynching museum' just 2 of the tour's 'highlights'. An unforgettable experience.
