- Description:
- 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 6-7, 1993. The video opens with tour attendees at Jimmie Lee Jackson's gravesite and then the tour group is shown at a luncheon event. A woman who works for food services at Selma University speaks about her work with providing food to civil rights workers. Footage then shows the group visiting the National Voting Rights Museum & Institute, scenes of Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church, and tour attendees marching through the streets of Selma. The group then travels to Viola Liuzzo's memorial monument where a commemoration service is held. Footage then shows the bus driving through Montgomery. Civil rights activist Gwen Patton speaks to tour attendees on the bus and narrates historical sites that the bus drives by. The recording concludes with footage of the tour group gathered around a tree planted in a crater left by a bomb outside the church residence of Robert S. Graetz, who pastored United (formerly Trinity) Lutheran Church in the 1950s. Audio note: No audio from 00:31:03 to 00:55:54.
