Black Heritage Tour

School students from Selma and surrounding areas toured monuments and museums this week as part of Black History Month activities. Selma sponsors a Black Heritage Tour that includes a visit to the Old Depot Museum, National Voting Rights Museum, Brown Chapel AME Church and a walk across the Pettus Bridge. This museum, which once was the L&N train depot, has a black history room that features photos, murals and memorabilia from the Civil War era to Reconstruction, the Depression and Civil Rights era.
