- This video features footage of various scheduled events that are part of the SCLC/W.O.M.E.N. Civil Rights Heritage Tour held on March 7-8, 1992. The recording highlights various sites visited by the tour across multiple cities in Alabama (Birmingham, Montgomery, Selma, Tuskegee, etc.). This recording opens with Abraham Woods, Evelyn G. Lowery and others speaking at a luncheon event. Another luncheon event occurring in Greene County features Spiver Gordon, Evelyn G. Lowery, and James Orange speaking. There are scenes of tour attendees marching through the streets in Eutaw, Alabama as well as footage of Albert Turner, Sr. speaking at Jimmie Lee Jackson's gravesite. The recording then captures a conversation between Reverend Fred Taylor and a tour attendee and then transitions to a commemoration service at the Viola Liuzzo memorial monument. A speaking event on the steps of the Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church kicks off a march through the streets of Selma, Alabama. The video concludes with a Clark Atlanta University student interviewing tour attendees and organizers, including James Orange.
