Civil Rights Trail
Welcome to the U.S. Civil Rights Trail
Some of the most significant milestones in U.S. civil rights history began in seemingly unknown places — a bus, a high school, a bridge. During the peak of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and ’60s, however, these spaces became landmarks in the march toward racial rights. Discover the most influential attractions on the Civil Rights Trail, a living catalog dedicated to the story of equality. Whether these attractions fit into your itinerary or the trail itself becomes your itinerary, you’ll be moved by the stories of hope and perseverance.
