[North America Travel Notes] Montgomery, Alabama

✨A place regarded as the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement. 🥰For those unfamiliar with this chapter of American history, here's a brief summary: Even nearly a century after the Emancipation Proclamation, systemic injustices against African Americans persisted. 🩷Montgomery became one of the capitals of the Civil Rights Movement due to several historic moments tied to the Alabama State Capitol. It is home to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s church (Dexter Avenue Baptist Church) and the site where Rosa Parks was arrested. 🖼️In the morning, we visited the National Memorial for Peace and Justice. The experience was deeply sobering. It stands as "America’s first memorial dedicated to enslaved Black people, those terrorized by lynching, African Americans humiliated by segregation and Jim Crow laws, and people of color burdened with presumptions of guilt and police violence." #Montgomery#Alabama#travelguide#AmericaTravel#Alabamaguide
