It is often said, "Don't tell me what you know, tell me where you've traveled!" On January 14th, 2023- Don't miss the bus as we are headed 85 south departing Atlanta, GA for a Black History tour experience that you don't want to miss!
No other city is so closely linked to the Civil Rights movement as Montgomery, Alabama. Not only is Montgomery where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. lived, but it also boasts many historic landmarks and civil rights museums. In 1955, Montgomery made national news when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a public city bus. Approximately 40,000 African-American bus riders—the majority of the city’s bus riders—boycotted the system the next day, December 5, 1955. This action prompted a series of events that led the south to integrate public transportation.
We will also visit Tuskegee University, located in Tuskegee, Al. Tuskegee University is the only black college to be designated a National Historic site by the national park service and is ranked the #3 HBCU in the nation. The university was home to scientist George Washington Carver who became known as the "Peanut Man" after creating 300 products made from peanuts. During World War II, Tuskegee Alabama was also home to the Tuskegee Airmen who were famously known as the first squadron of African American pilots trained in the U.S military for service in the war. Don't miss the opportunity to see these sights and experience History Retold!
