The Asheville, Durham and Raleigh Chapters of the Martin Luther King Celebration Committees are co-sponsoring a bus trip to Selma, Montgomery and Birmingham, Alabama and to Memphis, Tennessee to retrace the steps of Dr. King and other civil rights heroes. This area of the country was the setting for many history-making achievements by African Americans and courageous whites.

During the visit, we will relive the experience of the bravery of the people who endured Bloody Sunday, then made the harrowing Selma to Montgomery march for voting rights. We will be better able to understand the inspiring words of Dr. King who led the March as well as get to know the unsung heroes, ordinary men and women who risked their lives to register Blacks to vote. Rosa Parks' nonviolent protest in Montgomery inspired a movement that helped give Blacks equal access to public facilities. Birmingham and Memphis are also two meccas of civil rights history.

The historic trip is scheduled for April 3 - April 6, 2012.

Trip prices start at $395 per person which will include transportation, lodging, entrance to historic sites and 3 nights hotel stay.

Quad Package: $395 per Person (4 To A Room)
Triple Package: $425 per Person (3 to A Room)
Double Package: $495 per Person (2 to A Room)
Single Package: $615 per Person (1 To A Room)
