    Highly recommended! Do not miss this opportunity to experience Selma's 1964-1965 history and to learn about the principal role played by F. D. Reese, a Selma science teacher and minister, in the struggle for voting rights. Reese invited Martin Luther King, Jr., in January 1965 to lead the group of teachers and citizens that Reese had organized. The politics between the various players are fascinating. Alan and Marvin offer a unique perspective on an historic time as grandsons of this hero of the civil rights movement. They take you to sites in Selma where the drama unfolded and offer you the opportunity to walk the Edmund Pettus Bridge. You have the satisfaction of honoring Reese and the heroes of Bloody Sunday, Turn Around Tuesday, and the March from Selma to Montgomery, March 21-24, 1965.

    This was a phenomenal experience. It was the start of our Civil Rights tour of Selma and Montgomery, Alabama. Talking with Alan and Marvin, and driving all together to see the sites they told us about, was a really moving experience. None of the three of us had been taught anything about the Selma to Montgomery march in school, so it was really enlightening to learn about how the events unfolded and, of course, FD Reese's pivotal role. What isn't mentioned in the description is that Alan and Marvin are going to drive FROM ATLANTA (about three hours each way!) to meet you and give you this very personal tour. Thank you Alan and Marvin for a fascinating and touching tour.

    Alan was a great tour guide - very knowledgeable, passionate, and honest. His care for his granddaddy’s legacy is inspiring.
