Excellent bus/ walking tour of the history of the civil rights movement in Birmingham. So very sad how a few people in power can negatively affect an entire population. Father and son owned tour company. Mike was very knowledgeable and obviously passionate about local civil rights. The tour was very educational. We then visited the Civil Rights Institute across the street which augmented the Red Clay tour. Highly recommend this tour.

My favorite part was being able to see each historical event as our tour guide Mike was very knowledgeable and detailed. He took his time explaining each exhibit. We were able to get a better understanding of how the Birmingham Civil Rights was shaped and unfolded.

I came to Birmingham to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the opening of the Civil Rights Museum and Institute….which I visited when it opened in 1992. This tour covers a hard history, an emotional history, an important history with straight forward factual truth….and moments to pause and reflect and feel. Visiting places where acts of resistance and heroic action happened, I left at the end of the tour with a sense of admiration and profound respect for the civil rights heroes who refused to quit. It’s the history we need to hear, not just the history we want to hear. Well done.
