The making of American history has occurred in every corner of this country having enormous impact on the world we live in today. One of the most tumultuous time of our recent history occurred as part of a great movement of social conscious that swept across the United
States during the mid 1950s and 1960’s. It was the Movement for Civil Rights and equality in this country. It occurred in places like Greensboro, North Carolina, Atlanta, Georgia, Selma and Birmingham and Montgomery Alabama, and places like Memphis, Tennessee and other places throughout the south. The movement was men and women of every race and many religious and backgrounds all committed to create a free and just America.  

We invite you to relive and become a part of this era by coming along on this historic bus trip to retrace the steps of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, the “Sit Ins” in Woolworth Department Stores, Reverend Fred Shuttleworth and the courageous children of Birmingham memorialized in Kelly Ingram Park, Bloody Sunday and the march across the Edmond Pettus Bridge in the quest for voters rights, the march from Selma to Montgomery, the famed and decorated Tuskegee Airmen, the life changing science of Dr. George Washington Carver and the traumatic events at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis and all along the way we will see the involvement and contribution of heroes and heroines who made the movement live on. This is a life changing tour for all and a must have experience for individuals and families a like.
