It turns out that only my husband and I had signed up for the Civil Rights tour at our selected time, but Mr. Cornelius (Clay), a young southern gentleman, graciously led us (Wisconsinites) through the city with a very engaging and informative presentation of history and information. He is very personable and polite and I'm sure he'd be just as professional with a group of any size. We really appreciate the well-planned tour itinerary and his service in presenting a great deal of information. We really enjoyed the tour and are inspired to keep learning more about the subject matter. Very highly recommended!

We took this tour with two teenagers and an infant. Our tour guide, Clay, did a wonderful job balancing the needs of an infant with the curiosity of the teenagers. He was patient, informative and interesting. He was especially good at answering questions and molding the tour to our individual curiosities. This way definitely the highlight of our trip to Birmingham.

If you can only do one thing in Birmingham - this is it! Clay not only knows his history but presents it in an extraordinarily gripping way. He provides content and context in a manner which made me pay attention to every word. I saw a side of Birmingham that I would have never seen otherwise. He has clearly put in years of research and shares this in a clear an concise way in the very locations where these events took place. It is a heartbreaking tour because it was a heartbreaking time in our country's history. If we do not learn from our mistakes we will inevitably repeat them. If there is ever a time to take this tour it is now! Thank you Clay and keep up the excellent work!
