Civil Rights & Rhythms of the South
)
Self-drive Holidays
If you’re looking to understand the roots and culture of the Deep South, this 17-day road trip is the best way to do it. Following the threads of Country music, you’ll set out from Atlanta, Georgia, before heading north to Nashville, Tennessee. From here your journey strikes a more Blues-based chord as you trace your way to Memphis. This is a chance to enjoy life on the road as you discover the cultural heritage of the South through its music, food, and historical landmarks. From the Grand Ole Opry and the Blues bars of Beale Street to crawfish pie and jambalaya – this is where you soak it all in. The fight for civil rights has also played an incredibly important part in the Southern America you’ll find today. After spending a couple of nights in New Orleans you’ll visit Mobile, Montgomery and Birmingham, Alabama. Discovering the Civil Rights Movement activated by Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr is an essential part of this tour.
