These gentlemen show true honor and passion for what they're doing, educating and informing the public about the history and efforts of their grandfather and others who played such a significant role in our history as Americans. It was touching and I'm grateful that I had the opportunity

This experience was on the third day of our Civil Rights tour in Alabama. Our tour guides, Allan and MJ, grandsons of FD Reese, literally opened their family home to us and their hearts as they shared not only Selma's history on voting rights, but their grandfather's pivotal organizing role in lifting up the Selma community. They underscored the importance of individuals in organizing on a grassroots level in their community. These individuals are everywhere and need to be acknowledged. You won't want to miss this unbelievably powerful experience.

This was a highlight of our five day civil rights trip. We are so grateful for the warmth and hospitality of the Reese family. If you want to hear the stories behind the Selma march, this tour is a must. We learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed our experience.
