Entire presentation was incredibly well done. Tour guide was very knowledgeable. She was not thrown off when 28 school children showed up 10 minutes late. The video presentations were particularly moving. The order of the tour, starting with the two videos, doing timeline, the third video in another space (which brought me to tears), and then going upstairs to the sanctuary and finally outside to where the dynamite was planted, we perfectly executed.

It was sobering and very impactful to be in such an historic place. Having learned about this church and the horrific tragedy that took place here so many years ago, it was important to see that it has survived and still plays an important role in life today. The docents were knowledgeable and thorough.

The church is important to the civil rights movement and we were happy to be able to see it. The guide was lovely. The videos were sometimes hard to understand.

It was hard to hear at times because a staff member in the back was talking loudly. It was also unbearably hot in the small room with the final film. Otherwise everything was great.
