Gswitz Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 This is not about power supplies... I'm in Montgomery Alabama and I have been to The Lynching Memorial... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_National_Memorial_for_Peace_and_Justice The Rosa Parks Museum which has this photo of the gear used to record his church sermons... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dexter_Avenue_Baptist_Church The plaque is on a stain-glassed window in the church. This has been an extremely moving trip.
InstrEd Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 Were you in the area or was this a special trip to see this.
Gswitz Posted October 14, 2019 Author Posted October 14, 2019 I rode a bus from Richmond VA like the freedom rides and I'm riding the bus back. I was going to go with my mom but she had a mini stroke and couldn't go. She asked me to still go. A member of my church worked for the Smithsonian and is connected with the museums in Montgomery. When he said he wanted to go, the folks put together a group of 36 people and hired a bus.
Gswitz Posted October 14, 2019 Author Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) The lynching museum made coffins listing every county in the country with lynching history and the names of the lynched, where known. They have duplicates laid out that the counties can take back and display in their towns. To say it is overwhelming is an understatement. Edited October 14, 2019 by Gswitz
Gswitz Posted October 14, 2019 Author Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) I learned that MLK was not permitted to give his speech at the close of the year long bus-boycott from the Alabama capital steps so he made it from a flatbed truck... https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/king-papers/documents/address-conclusion-selma-montgomery-march ... Parked in front of the capital steps. It made me wonder if the dead knew of this when they did their flatbed show in sf. Edited October 14, 2019 by Gswitz
Gswitz Posted October 14, 2019 Author Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) At the end of the boycott, while the buses weren't segregated, the bus stops still were. Edited October 14, 2019 by Gswitz
