More moments in time from Montgomery, the heart of historic Alabama.
Nearly every street there has a story to tell, with even more history unfolding just an hour or so away in Selma, Tuskegee, and Cahawba. If I had one more day to add to my journey through the Deep South, I would probably spend it there, where a historic fountain and cobblestoned square mark the city’s colonial founding, a former slave market, orders to fire on Fort Sumpter, and Rosa Parks’ personal stand; where a few tiny flames cast light on injustice; where hair salons and small businesses past and present are short-hand for Black excellence; and where there is so much pride and power in the persistence to overcome.
where i wandered:
where joy wanders
