A year ago I was traveling through Alabama. We stayed in Montgomery, Alabama for a few days because there is so much to see there. We saw the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church where Martin Luther King Junior was a pastor from 1954 to 1969, Around the corner and down a few blocks was the parsonage house where he lived with his family. This is where MLK lived as he organized the bus boycott. We also toured the Rose Parks Museum, the Legacy museum and the Legacy memorial, and the civil rights museum. Montgomery has done a fine job building museums that tell the unvarnished truth about slavery and racism. Today is a fine day for me to examine my conscious and remember Martin Luther King Junior.
