The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has published an article about the Civil Rights sites in Montgomery, even though there's little to no tourist traffic during this time of coronavirus. Here are several of my photos to illustrate the sites the newspaper writes about.
The Dexter-King Church, where Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Came to international prominence as a leader of the Civil Rights movement.
The relatively new lynching memorial, a.k.a The National Memorial for Peace and Justice, on a hillside overlooking Downtown Montgomery.
Lower Dexter Avenue, where enslaved people were warehoused and sold in a public market.
It's the starting point for the AJC article:

It's the starting point for the AJC article:
"Situated on a sweeping horseshoe bend in the Alabama River, downtown Montgomery was once a major center of the domestic slave trade in the antebellum South. Enslaved people were transported on the river, unloaded at the dock, marched up Commerce Street and sold-off at the market on Court Square."
