It’s time to start planning your next trip. Take a visual journey through these U.S. locations where historically significant moments in the Civil Rights movement occurred.
At Birmingham Civil Rights Institute in Birmingham, Alabama, visitors walk through different exhibits showcasing the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 60s, as well as voices of those involved in the movement.

Little Rock Nine Civil Rights Memorial, on the grounds of the Arkansas State Capitol building in Little Rock, Arkansas, honors the unending courage of nine Black students as they went to Little Rock Central High School following desegregation of the city’s public schools in 1957.

Honoring one of the iconic faces of the Civil Rights Movement, the Rosa Parks statue at Montgomery Plaza lies just 30 feet from the spot where Rosa Parks boarded the segregated bus and refused to give up her seat to a white man in 1955. Her statue shows her standing tall and firm, a display of enduring faith and strength. © Mccallk69 | Dreamstime.com
