Day 214 - Civil rights road trip

Nashville to Montgomery

16th Street Baptist Church

Today we drove to Montgomery, stopping along the way in Birmingham for lunch.

Both cities are historic locations for the civil rights movement, and the events that took place there were prominent in the displays we'd seen in the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis.

While in Birmingham we stopped at the 16th Street Baptist Church, where four black girls were killed in a bombing back in 1963.

We arrived in Montgomery late in the day, so we booked in for a tour of the Dexter Parsonage museum the next morning, and headed out to a local Indian restaurant for dinner.
