Road Scholar's Civil Rights Tour Visited Selma today.
It was indeed a wonderful group of tourists interested in the Voting Rights Movement of 1965. Ten states were represented. I shared my Oral History Presentation at the Five & Dime afterwards, the Scholars eagerly walked the Edmund Pettus Bridge while reflecting on 1965. The Tour continued with a Historic Mobile Tour of Selma and culminated having a delectable lunch at the Five & Dime.
One tourist shared that this was her second time on this tour because she enjoyed and learned so much four years ago she decided to return again, for this we say thank you so much.
Again, Selma thanks and welcomes Road Scholar.
