The U.S. Civil Rights Trail spans more than 100 locations across 15 states and chronicles the history of the Black struggle for civil rights.
Created in 2018, it brings history to life in a way that history books can’t -- and provides a blueprint for many modern movements.
Today on All Sides with Ann Fisher we explore a new traveler’s guide that traces the steps of civil rights pioneers with lessons that resonate today.
Guests:
- Deborah Douglas, author of U.S. Civil Rights Trail: A Traveler's Guide to the People, Places, and Events that Made the Movement
- Hasan Kwame Jeffries, associate professor of history at Ohio State University
- Wanda Battle, tour director at Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church in Montgomery, Ala.
