    • Outstanding. More to add: McLeod and Whitney.
Format: Paperback
We have been planning a Civil Rights trip for several years. This amazing book will greatly facilitate our logistics and vastly increase our knowledge and understanding. It will help us focus on key events and places. I am sure there were necessary omissions due to space constraints of the book, as well as travel distance constraints of creating a realistic tour. In the next edition, I suggest that the McLeod Plantation Historic Site could be added. It is about 4 miles south of Charleston, not far over the Ashley River. It has been recognized as an important Civil RIghts site and is part of Charleston County Parks. One other suggestion is the Whitney Plantation which is about one hour from New Orleans, and tells the story exclusively from the perspective of enslaved people. ... show more

    • Essential travel companion for a Civil Rights trip
Format: Paperback
This book was my constant companion for a month-long campervan tour through most of the area she covered. Yes, some of the information is repeated, but given how you likely use this book: for initial strategic trip planning you may read it more front to back, but for daily tactical planning you tend to dip in and out, so the repeated info ensures you have good situation awareness. Fold out map that lists the highlights for each city was surprisingly useful; once you've visited a half-dozen places you start to forget, lose the 10,000 foot view of what you are doing and where you are going. Call outs for Black-owned businesses were very appreciated. Suggestions for the next edition: Our experience of hotel prices was generally 2x or more of what she quoted. Medgar Evers house in Jackson MS is now managed by the NPS and as of March 2022 not yet open. Strongly agree with suggestions to add the Whitney Plantation museum near NOLA and the McLeod Plantation near Charleston SC. Also, would be great to add campgrounds to the list of lodging--many people are doing this with kids, and/or on limited budgets so camping should be an option. (And didn't Roxanne Gay say: white people will camp ANYWHERE, including the middle of the street lol). Overall this book is a terrific resource and greatly enhanced the value of our trip. ... show more

    • First-Ever Book on the U.S. Civil Rights Trail-- An Excellent Guide
Format: Paperback
Incredibly, the U.S. Civil Rights Trail was only formally recognized in 2018, and this book by journalist and author Deborah Douglas is the first to document its path. Douglas does a terrific job of providing both all of the basic information and rich insights needed to plan a rewarding trip. It's a super-practical travel guide that's also packed in history, profiles and perspective. Douglas brings just the right balance of gravity and humor, inviting us to experience this journey through history that is more relevant that ever. This is the guide we all need right now to start planning our post-pandemic travel. ... show more

    • Love our history
Excellent travel guide, but a lot of the information was repeated several times. Great historical information and I did learn some new information. I will be using the guide to do a trip. The addition of restaurants and shopping opportunities was also great to see.

    • Great addition to your library
Format: Paperback
I recently went to New Orleans. Visited the US civil Rights museum and this is a fantastic book to have. Very informative spoke of many details that I was not aware of regarding the civil rights movement. Very well written.

    • Outstanding Travel and History Book
Format: Paperback
I bought this book to guide trip planning for an upcoming trip to the south. This book highlights key things to see and do related to African American and civil rights history in the U.S. I read lots of travel guides, and as a travel guide, this is one of the BEST I've read. I love the itineraries and the fact that it describes the experiences. What I didn't expect when buying this book was all the history I would learn. My U.S. history class was more than 40 years ago and I know most of this wasn't covered. There is so much more to American civil rights history than MLK, segregation, and slavery. ... show more
