Join us on Monday, June 14, 2021, at 5:00 pm as we take the road less traveled and follow the twists and turns of one of America’s most momentous eras: the Civil Rights Movement. Written by award-winning journalist and author Deborah D. Douglas, Moon U.S. Civil Rights Trail: A Traveler’s Guide to the People, Places, and Events that Made the Movement (Moon Travel Guides, 1/12/21) takes home- bound travelers and curious minds on an eye-opening journey inspired by the official Civil Rights Trail (established in 2018 by Travel South). Both a functional tour guidebook and narrative, U.S. Civil Rights Trail brings the movement’s most pivotal moments to life through illustrative storytelling, historical sites, and cultural experiences. As the 20th century Civil Rights Movement continues to serve as inspiration and a blueprint for many modern-day calls for justice and equality, Moon U.S. Civil Rights Trail helps readers understand the movement’s impact, and commemorates the people, places, and events that shifted America toward change.
“We are literally surrounded by greatness and don’t even know it,” Douglas said. “So many of the places I visited in writing this book are part of the daily fabric of our lives, but we miss opportunities to engage with them from viewpoint of greatness they represent. Thankfully, more cities and institutions are waking up to the narrative power of African American history, including the Civil Rights Movement. This story happens to be relevant on so many levels right now and urgently so.”
