Rosa Parks

When I discovered we would be stopping in Montgomery, Alabama I started looking for things

we could do in a short amount of time.

On top of the list was to visit the Rosa Parks Museum.

When we got to the museum we discovered that we couldn't do a self guided tour and
a guided tour would be an hour for each section and for a fee.
Being short on time we decided we would just browse the few rooms that visitors could see.

 

At the information desk the nice lady told us that Troy University purchased the land around the street where Rosa Parks refused to get off the bus. The University noticed how many people would visit and take pictures with her sign. So the university decided to build a museum in her honor.

She also told us we could walk down the street and see where the Freedom Fighters took place.

Standing where history took place and changed a nation

can be felt full of emotions/feelings you can't find in history books.

Our desire is to continual be educated to teach our family and teach

future generations about what makes our nation a nation we love.

A nation of individuals full of courage with ordinay people.

We discovered Montgomery is the capital of Alabama and so much to see. We walked and walked.

 

 

 

It's actually only a few blocks from the time Rosa Parks got on the bus to when she got off.

 

 

 

As we walked it was so quite as though the town was shut down. It felt ghostly like but a city that's hard to imagine was bustling with life that dates back to slavery auctions in the center of town that goes back to the 1700's...
