About About the place

The Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama, is a deeply moving tribute designed by Maya Lin to commemorate the 40 individuals who lost their lives in the struggle for civil rights between 1954 and 1968. The memorial consists of a circular black granite table with the names of the martyrs inscribed on its surface. Water constantly flows over the names, symbolizing the ongoing pursuit of equality. The adjacent Civil Rights Memorial Center provides further context and historical information. It serves as a powerful and contemplative space for reflection on the sacrifices made and the continuing fight for justice.

The cafe is a little place situated in the middle of the buzzing market of the city and is a cute little place with a really warm ambience and very nice and friendly people and staff. The food was great and had a lot of amazing local flavors. It was totally worth the visit and we really enjoyed the food and hospitality.

You can enter this place without any admission fee and take up a guided tour which is a great way to see the place. There is so much to see here and this place is beautiful and adorned with amazing heritage sites inside which are architecturally so beautiful and the buildings are all ancient with the charm of tradition. This place is very interesting and makes up for a unique visit.

While making our itinerary, we included this place towards the end and thought that incase we are behind time, we will skip it. But thank God, we didn’t because it was one of the greatest places to visit. Easily accessible, conveniently located, gorgeous location and the easy navigation for the entire tour of this place made it much more fun and enjoyable. I will suggest everyone to please visit this place.

It is a great place to stay and gives you much luxury and comfort at a great price. The service is great and the management was very prompt and was very helpful and assisted us with everything. The rooms were big and spacious, well maintained and the views from the window of the city skyline was just stunning. Loved my experience here!
