Continuing my trip from yesterday, I got to 13 or 14 additional sites today, including a couple of bonus sites, plus 1 site on the National Register of Historic Places that I passed by.
On the trip today: A continuation of the 30 stop ACCORD Civil Rights Tour
117 Twine St. Where Ms Peabody was a house guest
160 Martin Luther King Ave. Where Dr King stayed while in town from time to time
Next door, 157 Martin Luther King Ave.
94 South Street - The Desegregation House
111 Lincoln Street- Rev Wright house
112 Martin Luther King Ave- The Bell house
97 Martin Luther King Ave- The old Excelsior High School
A bonus marker I believe, The Black Catholic Heritage Marker at St Benedict the Moor Catholic Church
A bonus marker at the St Paul AME church
84 St Benedict Street
113 and 120 De Haven Street
222 Ribera Street
A new marker perhaps at Twine Park
56 Park Place
The Record Building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places
64 and 76 Washington Streets
79, 81 and 84 Bridge Street
33 Bernard Street
and finally 10 Hildreth Avenue, a former all white high school that was among the first to desegregate in 1963.
I was home by 1215, after leaving the house at 946- Total travel today was just over 23 miles- all this right in my own back yard!
Be doing separate posts for each of these.
