As you may know, Montgomery was instrumental in the Civil Rights Movement. We visited the Southern Poverty Law Center which not only continues to fight for equal rights of all people, but offers a tour that encompasses the years throughout the Civil Rights Movement. You go back in time via a movie and then you get to sign your name on the "Wall of Tolerance". I'll give it 5 stars!
"The circular fountain provides a timeline of important events in the Civil Rights Movement, beginning in 1954 with the Supreme Court decision to integrate American schools (Brown vs. the Board of Education) and ending with Dr. King's murder in 1968. It also records the names of 40 men, women, and children who lost their lives working for social justice." SPLC
