Civil Rights Legacy
Alabama was at the heart of the civil rights movement during the mid-20th century. The march from Selma to Montgomery, Rosa Parks’ refusal to take a backseat, and the courageous trips taken by the Freedom Riders are not just events that changed the country, but they also impacted the entire world. The sites of these pivotal moments and more have been preserved and made accessible to everyone, so that the lessons from the fight for human rights can continue to be learned for generations to come.
