Young Tuscaloosa Giving Guided Civil Rights Tours

Tuscaloosa's Young Professionals organization is giving a one-hour guided walking tour of the Tuscaloosa Civil Rights History Trail.

Civil Rights Trail task force member Scott Bridges will guide the tour of sights like Capitol Park, where the ruins of the building from Tuscaloosa’s brief stint as Alabama’s Capitol in the 1800s sit, the Paul R. Jones Museum, the Dinah Washington Cultural Arts Center, First African Baptist Church, and locations where boycotts, marches, and other events occurred.
