Montgomery

Weekendjes weg naar Montgomery

Montgomery
photo © Dan Brothers / Alabama Bureau of Tourism & Travel
Oude zuidelijke charme gaat samen met moderne stadsallure in Montgomery met zijn schitterende weer en heerlijke eten. Ontdek het leven in het 19e-eeuwse Zuiden in Old Alabama Town, ervaar de kunstzinnige kant van de stad in het Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts of beleef het tijdperk van de burgerrechtenstrijders. Rosa Parks, de Afro-Amerikaanse vrouw die de geschiedenis van de Verenigde Staten veranderde door te weigeren achter in de bus te gaan zitten, werd gearresteerd in Montgomery en er zijn diverse interessante bezienswaardigheden aan haar gewijd. Literatuurliefhebbers zullen genieten in het Fitzgerald Museum, terwijl kinderen uren kunnen doorbrengen in de dierentuin van Montgomery. Iedereen zal genieten van de heerlijke zuidelijke keuken, van de black-eyed pea soep (bonensoep) tot country ham met red-eyed gravy (gebakken ham met vleesjus). Met of zonder franje, een bezoekje aan Montgomery smaakt altijd naar meer.

Birthplace of civil rightsBirthplace of civil rights
Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., used the pulpit of this unassuming red brick church to lead the 1955-56 Montgomery bus boycott, which ignited the civil rights movement. Steeped in history, this church, where Dr. King served as pastor from 1954 to 1960, was also the site of many civil rights meetings during that era.

Rosa Parks Library and Museum: This tribute to the "Mother of the Civil Rights Movement" honors Rosa Parks, the African-American woman who, in 1955, sparked the civil rights movement by refusing to give her bus seat to a white man.

Civil Rights Memorial: The names of 40 people killed in the battle for civil rights between 1954, when the U.S. Supreme Court outlawed segregation, and 1968, the year of the assassination of Martin Luther King, are embedded forever in this round, flat, granite sculpture. Water flows gently over the surface of the inspiring memorial, designed by Maya Lin, who also created the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

Old Alabama Town: Get a taste of what life was like in 19th-century Montgomery, where three blocks of historic houses show how people lived in that era. You'll see barns, a one-room schoolhouse, a church, cotton gin and the striking contrast of rich versus poor - from mansions to a tiny house lined with newspaper for insulation.
