Episode 29: Behind the Tour. The March: Civil War to Civil Rights

SUMMARY

On this podcast – host Aaron Cronk and guest ACTS Education Program Leader Nolan Hargis take you behind their most recent tour – The March: From Civil War to Civil Rights.

The discussion walks listeners through the American Christian Tours tour program that focuses on the struggle for Civil Rights that occurred after the end of the Civil War and carried on. The tour starts in Memphis and makes its way through the Deep South. Some of the stops include Selma, Birmingham, Montgomery, Tuskeegee, and ends in Atlanta. Different Civil Rights memorials are visited, instrumental churches, museums, and sites – even schools are taken in. The tour also includes some Civil War sites along the way.

Our second segment highlights Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his involvement in the Civil Rights movement. Many of the sites along The March include places where Dr. King either pastored, let protests, the site of his assassination and finally his final resting place in Atlanta.

Cronk’s Corner will encourage you as Aaron focuses Dr. Kings message to us. Something to think about as we remember Dr. King this coming weekend. The podcast wraps up with a Call to Action.
