Take a trip for history's sake
Martin Luther King's birthday will be celebrated this holiday weekend and to honor the man and his life's path, one may want to take to the road to reflect on where he and like-minded souls have been to see how far we can go in terms of true equality and civil rights. Here are just a few locations to consider.

Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama
Stretching across the Alabama River, this bridge was where officers and citizens confronted one another on the right to vote on March 7, 1965. The event spawned King's subsequent march to Montgomery, which led directly to the Voting Rights Act. The National Voting Rights Museum sits on the northeast side of the bridge to tell the tale.
