Day 4 – Selma, Alabama

First visit the famous Rosa Parks Museum before loading the buses and heading to Selma, AL. After arriving the group will visit the National Voting Rights Museum & Institute and then walk across historic Edmund Pettus Bridge. On “Bloody Sunday,” March 7, 1965, some 600 civil rights marchers headed east out of Selma on U.S. Route 80. They got only as far as the Edmund Pettus Bridge six blocks away, where state and local lawmen attacked them with billy clubs and tear gas and drove them back into Selma. Later stop by the Slavery & Civil War Museum before heading home.
