A Conversation With Author Of New Civil Rights Trail Book

A new book called “The Civil Rights Trail: What happened here changed the world”, documents more than a hundred sites significant to the struggle of the 1950s and 1960s. Author Lee Sentell is among the nation’s longest-serving state tourism directors, having led Alabama’s agency for nearly two decades and he launched the Alabama Civil Rights Trail — the first in the country — in 2004.
