What makes this tour unique?

The Crusaders for Civil Rights -The Church, The Children and The Community, Birmingham, AL Tour, is a historical, American story that many will never forget. This tour tells the story of the evangelistic support in Birmingham and of the crusade for LOVE - the greatest commandment. We will explore the crusade of the brave children who marched for all our futures and the involvement of the business community that culminated to the passing of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. There are stories and activities that would make you want to cry, and others that would make you laugh, as our country continues to heal together.

Visiting the churches that were important meeting places during the Civil Rights era, particularly the churches where Rev. Martin Luther King had pastored.

We didn't actually get to enjoy the tour because our guide suffered a family loss and the tour was cancelled. Antonia, who we dealt with, went out of her way to help us enjoy our day - sent us to the "right" places, made calls for us and even offered to pay for some of our touring (which we declined). So... while I can't comment on the tour, the people running the show deserve a shout out for being as helpful as could be under the circumstances. Of course, our fees were fully refunded.
Good walk

Taylor was an amazing tour guide! I learned a lot coming from her guiding skills as far as the history and general information about the tour. She taught me black historical facts that weren’t taught to me in school. That there alone stood out to me! To see a young African American woman speak knowledgeably about her history shows how much she cares about her culture. I also enjoyed hearing Ms. Roby speak as we went into the foot soldier’s office. I highly recommend anyone to go and gain knowledge of the Civil Rights History!
Awesome

My family and I were in Birmingham for the weekend and decided to book this tour. It was time well spent! Our tour guide, Taylor, was amazing! It is one thing to watch a documentary or read a book on the civil rights movement - it’s another to actually stand on the sacred ground of it all and to actually hear from the folks who were there. We visited several sites, but three highlights include: 16th Street Baptist Church (where four little girls died after a bombing by the KKK in the ‘60s), Kelly Ingram Park (site of the Children’s Crusade), and the Civil Rights Activist Committee Headquarters where we heard from a woman who was jailed as a child after marching in the Crusade. This experience allowed us to discuss issues as a family in a way we never had before. I highly recommend this tour!
