Kapitol stanu Alabama

Od 150 lat Kapitol stanu Alabama spogląda na centrum Montgomery ze swojego położenia na wzgórzu. Ten narodowy zabytek historyczny to działające muzeum historii i polityki państwa. Konfederacja rozpoczęła się w sali senatu, kiedy delegaci z południowych stanów głosowali za ustanowieniem nowego państwa w lutym 1861 roku.

Dr Martin Luther King Jr. wygłosił jedno ze swoich największych przemówień do około 25 000 osób.
