B.D., This part of the world has seen way too much change the last 35 years
or so.  Almost nothing that was, still is on this corridor.  The end of
segregation brought tremendous development especially around the larger
cities such that about all that remains are bronze plaques on a few bridges.
That doesn't mean that if you visit Atlanta you shouldn't spend a day or so
around Sweat Auburn where the King sites are.

A better feel for the south of the sixties can be found in the Mississippi
Delta or in middle Alabama west of Phenix City to Montgomery with a stop at
Tuskegee almost a requirement.  Economic growth has been much slower in this
broad area so the feel of the old south lingers on.
