9. Rosa Parks Arrest Site – Montgomery, AL
One of the most moving and iconic sites in the history of women’s rights in this country is the unassuming corner where Rosa Parks was arrested in 1955, simply for refusing to give up her seat to a bus passenger who was white. If you’re interested in experiencing the city where Parks was just one of many people discriminated against because of the color of their skin, head to the corner of Moulton and Montgomery Streets in Montgomery, Alabama. From there, it’s a short walk to the Rosa Parks Museum, where you can learn about her early life, and the legacy that she inspired in the modern Civil Rights movement.
