Our tour guide was excellent. He lived through the activities during the time of the church bombing and the children being beat and hosed. Therefore, he was able to give us play by play explanations. We were also pleasantly surprised when completing our tour by the presence of Martin Luther King III in the sanctuary. MLK III was gracious enough to take a photo with each one of us.

Communications with staff prior to our visit were cordial and helpful. Welcoming by docents was superb. It’s a sacred place. We felt welcomed and included. Thank you

Well balanced and factual. The outline media presentation was very powerful. We did not have time to look at the various stations around the room or to watch the individual videos.

Our host, W.J. Maye, was a wonderful storyteller, and his personal experiences brought them vividly to life. I was deeply moved by his presentation and simply standing on this 'holy ground.' An absolute must if you are visiting Birmingham.

We love visiting with a group from our church in Indianapolis every year. Visiting 16th St. Baptist Church is a very important stop on our annual Civil Rights pilgrimage. Thank you for all you do!

The tour was very educational and informative. To be able to see a part of history you only hear about or read about was very touching. We left with way more knowledge than we had before as well as memorabilia to share

Very much recommend this tour. I had visited the church before but had not done the tour. My daughter and I had a positive experience. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and answered all questions.

Drop the mandatory mask policy. It serves no purpose.
