4 Small Towns to Visit Along the U.S. Civil Rights Trail

"In November 1961, the Albany Movement was formed to end segregation throughout Albany, Georgia. Martin Luther King Jr. joined the coalition for a brief period. Travelers can visit the Albany Civil Rights Movement Museum at Old Mount Zion and see the historical marker at Shiloh Baptist Church commemorating King's speech." - Jessica Poitevien Jessica Poitevien Jessica Poitevien is an international storyteller and regular contributor to Travel + Leisure.
