Civil Rights Memorial commemorates 30 years

[edit]

See the statement here. A key point for a travel guide is that this coming Tuesday, November 5, 2019, "the CRMC, an interpretive center behind the Memorial, will offer free admission to visitors". Also:

On Tuesday, Montgomery Mayor-elect Steven Reed, who will become the city’s first black mayor, will deliver an address during a “Day of Remembrance” ceremony. Participants will lay a wreath and flowers on the Memorial to honor the civil rights martyrs. The day’s events, which begin at 11:30 a.m., will include remarks by SPLC Interim President Karen Baynes-Dunning and special performances by the Park Crossing High School Choir under the direction of Darrian Stovall.[...] All anniversary events are free and open to the public.

There's also a description of the memorial in the statement, which we could quote from or paraphrase in the listing we have for it. Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:14, 2 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
