Atlanta Underground.

The morning will be spent in the Sweet Auburn District visiting Dr. King’s birth home, Dr. King’s gravesite, and the
APEX Museum before heading to Tuskegee, AL, made famous by the Tuskegee Airmen of WWII, and the Tuskegee
Institute. This evening, you’ll travel on to Montgomery, Alabama, generally considered to be the “birthplace of the Civil
Rights Movement”.
Day 6: Montgomery, ALA. (Tuesday)
Today, at the Rosa Parks Library and Museum, you’ll view a multimedia re-enactment of Mrs. Park’s calm resistance

You’ll take the moving “Footsteps to Freedom” Tour at the National Voting Rights Institute and meet
“living historians” who actually participated in the 1965 March on Bloody Sunday. They will guide you along the same

walked across the Edmund Pettus Bridge on their way to Montgomery to protest voting rights restrictions.
Afterwards, you’ll travel back to Jackson, Mississippi, passing en route through Meridian, Mississippi, where three
