Touring Texans African-American Tour will include a trip to the Equal Justice Initiative's Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice. Experience the nation's first memorials dedicated to the legacy of enslaved black people terrorized by lynching, African Americans humiliated by segregation and Jim Crow and people of color burdened with contemporary presumptions of guilt and police violence. A visit to Selma, and a 300 year-old plantation are just some of the venues on the itinerary.
Limited seating- don't miss the bus!

On "Bloody Sunday," March 7, 1965, a peaceful group of about 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 and were confronted by state and local lawmen who attacked them and drove them back with billy clubs and tear gas.
