Black History Month: 7 Cool, Must-See Civil Rights Landmarks and Tours

6. Freedom Rides Museum

Located in Montgomery’s Greyhound Bus Station, this legendary museum portrays the history of the Freedom Rides. On May 20, 1961, 21 college students from Nashville disembarked to the bus stop, where they were met with hostility and violence. The “Freedom Riders” helped put a stop to racial segregation in interstate transportation. The building’s exterior is an award-winning exhibit, and an absolute must-see.
