July 25.
This day we rolled into Alabama on an 88 mile ride to Demopolis. There was no fancy highway sign on the back country road we used. I took a picture of a chair in a store instead! As you can see, I wasn’t allowed to sit in the chair.
Since we are heading to Selma tomorrow, we took some time to watch the movie Selma, about the protests led by Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. I was reminded of the role played by John Lewis in that drive for voting rights. Tomorrow (July 26) we get to hear from a person who was a part of these historic marches.
