Just did the Birmingham Civil Rights Walk of Freedom tour!

Wow, I just finished the tour and it was super impactful. I loved the stops at the 16th Street Baptist Church and the Civil Rights Institute. The audio made the history feel personal and engaging. I went on a Saturday morning, and it was perfect weather. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to understand the civil rights movement better!
