Remembering an emotional visit

A recent search for "Where My Flickr Photos Are Being Used on the Internet" took me to the American Automobile Association's webpage highlighting their recommended destinations for a Civil Rights Trail Road Trip, one of several trip guides if you are driving within the Southeastern Appalachian area.

My photo of the "Outrage Hand" was taken during my visit to the the National Center for Civil and Human Rights in July 2014. I explored Atlanta on my own while Eric attended a conference. The section of the photo I took doesn't convey its actual size. It's part of a large mural, so large that I couldn't capture it all in one frame. This photo might give you a sense of scale.

My visit to the Center was educational and highly emotional. I was there about two hours and cried most of the time. The Center knows emotions will run high as there are boxes of tissues in some of the galleries.

AAA is right to include the Center on their Civil Rights Trail Road Trip. It is definitely worth a visit.
