The Civil Rights Landmarks tour was AMAZING. Not being from Huntsville but having lived in the city off an on for awhile, gave me a new appreciation for the history of the city. I learned sooooo much. Denise is an extremely knowledgeable guide and made the information interesting and impactful. I especially enjoyed learning about the first public school in Alabama to desegregate and having an opportunity to stand on the actual steps. 10 out of 10 I would recommend!!!
