This tour was recommended to us from a German visitor on another tour in Memphis who highly recommended Red Clay, and now I am doing the same! Our guide was the father of this "son and father" company, and it was truly like spending 3 hours with a personable historian who really knows a place intimately and can answer all of your questions with comprehensive detail and clarity. We are a family of four including kids of 17 and 11, and we all learned so much info that just can't be conveyed fully via books, museums, or movies. Our guide took us to the actual places where key events took place, and the impact of standing on these sites while envisioning the past conveyed with passion and context is deeply visceral. The story of "Bomb-ing-ham" during the post-reconstruction and Civil Rights era is horrific but also highlights countless amazing people, adults and children, who had the internal strength to organize, march for justice, and speak truth to power despite the ever-present threat of cruelty and violence. I left with a better understanding of how the past informs challenges today. You will come away from this tour feeling moved, deeply unsettled if not upset and angry, eager to learn more, and motivated to be part of the solution rather than problem in issues of race and social justice today. I recommend this tour for absolutely every U.S. citizen and wish it was a mandatory part of every school's curriculum -- can you imagine what a better country we would have if people knew their own history?
