Sites a historical record of civil rights fight Not all the historical black sites in Montgomery are areas of reverence. The spot on Court Square Fountain is where families were forever broken apart during slave trading, where mothers sometimes saw their children for the last time, and where men’s mouths were inspected as though they were cattle. But if you are looking for civil rights sites that inspire, Montgomery has plenty of those, too. Montgomery is rich in AfricanAmerican history, from pre-Civil War slavery to the freedoms fought for and won during the civil rights movement.

THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF CIVIL RIGHTS AND AFRICAN-AMERICAN CULTURE AT ALABAMA STATE UNIVERSITY Here, Alabama State University emphasizes the truths about the civil rights movement and African-American culture, with a special emphasis on Montgomery and ASU. The center is a research institute and repository for the collection of civil rights and African-American cultural documents, artifacts and other memorabilia, according to its website.

THE ROSA PARKS MUSEUM Owned by Troy University, the museum opened Dec. 1, 2000, the 45th anniversary of Rosa Parks’ arrest for not giving up her seat on a bus to a white man. The purpose of the Rosa Parks Museum is to uphold and interpret for public benefit, education and enjoyment materials related to the events and accomplishments of individuals associated with the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The museum includes a permanent exhibit, a time machine presentation that takes visitors back to the time of the boycott, temporary exhibit space, archives, classrooms, an auditorium and a conference room. Info: 252 Montgomery St., Montgomery; 241-8615 Website: montgomery.troy.edu/ rosaparks/museum

STATE CAPITOL The Capitol contains one of the country’s finest examples of an “unsupported� staircase, which was built by famed self-taught engineer and former

slave Horace King. This was the site of Alabama’s secession from the Union in 1861 and where Jefferson Davis was sworn in as the president of the Confederacy. Info: 600 Dexter Ave., 242-3935

* The site also is where Rosa Parks boarded the bus in December 1955 and started the Montgomery Bus Boycott. It also is in this area from which the telegram was sent ordering troops to fire on Fort Sumter, sparking the Civil War. Info: Court Square, Montgomery

CITY OF ST. JUDE ON FAIRVIEW AVENUE The City of St. Jude gained national exposure during the Selma-to-Montgomery march for voting rights in March 1965. Civil rights supporters camped each night at various locations along the route, and on the last night before reaching Montgomery, they were welcomed on the grounds at St. Jude. Info: 2048 W. Fairview Ave., Montgomery; 265-6791 Website: www.cityofstjude.org

SLAVE MARKET AT THE FOUNTAIN (HISTORIC MARKER*) The slave market located at the square on Court Street is where commerce and slave trading took place in the 1840s and 1850s. Its location was at a county courthouse, positioned there after two towns — New Philadelphia and East Alabama — joined to become Montgomery in 1818.

OLD ALABAMA TOWN Its outdoor history museum highlights central Alabama’s history, architecture and lifestyles. The town consists of more than 40 19th- and early 20thcentury structures, 22 of which are on the tour daily. Among the authentic early American structures that hold an important place in African-American history are an 1850s slave quarter, where domestic servants lived in downtown Montgomery while serving the upper-middleclass residents of the antebellum Ordeman House; an 1880s shotgun-style house typical of the housing available to former slaves following the Civil War; and an 1885 chapel that housed the First Presbyterian Colored Church of Montgomery. Info: Around Columbus Street in downtown Montgomery, 240-4500 Website: www.oldalabamatown.com

DEXTER AVENUE KING MEMORIAL BAPTIST CHURCH The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. led the Montgomery Bus Boycott from this historic church. Years before King led the church and the civil rights movement, the church was led by another dynamic civil rights leader — the Rev. Vernon Johns. Info: 454 Dexter Ave., Montgomery; 263-3970 Website: www.dexterkingmemorial.org

DEXTER AVENUE KING MEMORIAL BAPTIST CHURCH PARSONAGE MUSEUM Serving as the pastorium of Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church since 1919, this was home for the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. during his ministry in Montgomery and the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Info: 309 S.

Biscuits still going strong The Montgomery Biscuits, the minor league baseball team that plays its home games at Riverwalk Stadium, earned its nickname in a contest. The team started play in 2004, and this season marks the Biscuits’ 10th as a member of the Double-A Southern League. In 2003, the team’s owners had a Name the Team contest and received about 2,500 entries. A local attorney entered Biscuits based on his intramural softball team from law school. The name received more boos than cheers when it officially was unveiled. Since then, fans have grown more attached to it. The Tampa Bay Rays are Montgomery’s major league parent club.

New high school opening on east side in fall The River Region is home to four public school systems — Montgomery, Elmore and Autauga counties and the city of Tallassee — as well as more than 30 private schools. The area’s largest school system is Montgomery Public Schools, which educates more than

31,000 students in more than 50 schools, including a newly created career tech center. The school system made national news in early 2013 when Loveless Academic Magnet Program High School was ranked the No. 1 magnet school as well as the No. 7 high school in the nation

in the latest rankings by U.S. News & World Report. The Montgomery Technical Education Center, or Montgomery TEC, opened in 2012 with courses in HVAC, welding, carpentry, electrical and plumbing in conjunction with the traditional high school curriculum.

The center represents a partnership between the school system and area businesses. In addition to its career tech offerings, three schools have been accepted as International Baccalaureate Candidate Schools. IB programs will be in place at Carr Middle School and MacMillan In-

ternational Academy for Humanities, Communications and Technology. Loveless Academic Magnet Program High School also was accepted and will offer the IB diploma program. The system’s newest high school, built to accommodate growth in the county’s east end, will

open this fall. Park Crossing High School will be home to more than 1,000 students on a 54-acre campus. Montgomery Public Schools also is home to two dozen Nationally Board Certified Teachers, which is one of the highest distinctions educators can receive.

Mild weather in River Region Nestled in the center of Alabama, the River Region also is considered to be in the middle of the Southeast. Located some 200 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico, the River Region has a temperate climate where winters usually are mild and the growing season is long. The average temperature is 61 degrees, and the area usually receives about 55 inches of rainfall a year. There can be extremes in high and low temperatures, but long cold snaps are a rarity. Data from the National Weather Service show the warmest month on average is July, with an average high of 92 and an average low of 72. January is usually the coolest month of the year with an average high of 57 and an average low of 36. The area normally enjoys eight hours of sunshine a day, and the growing season is 210 days per year. The region generally is considered to be in the geographic center of the Southeast, and elevation ranges from 150 feet above sea level in Montgomery County to 554 feet in Autauga and 745 feet in Elmore counties. Winters typically are short and mild with hard freezes rare.

Even in the middle of winter, it’s not unusual to have days where the high temperature flirts with the 70-degree mark. Snow is a rarity in central Alabama. The area averages less than three-tenths of an inch of snow each year. Due to the Gulf’s influence, summer means high, sometimes stifling, levels of humidity. During June through September, temperatures show little change from day to day. Summers typically see afternoon highs in the upper 80s to mid-90s. The area is prone to severe weather, including strong thunderstorms and tornadoes. There are two distinct seasons for severe weather, March through May, and then another round in November. Not surprisingly the periods of severe weather most often occur during the changing of the seasons, with spring being the most active period. Being this close to the coast, tropical systems often make an impact. Hurricanes, and even tropical depressions, can dump vast amounts of rain over the state. Winds associated with the storms can be a factor as far north as the Tennessee line.
