"We pack and drive to yet another graveyard, then over the 23 miles of Lake Pontchartrain and along the swamps and beaches to Biloxi, Mississippi. A direction change and over to Montgomery and the starting point of the fire that was the Civil Rights Movement. Yet another cheap hotel and over to the Rosa Parks Museum, right outside the stop where she refused to stand, and then on through three more states before nightfall, with me driving in the rains of Georgia, South, and North Carolina."
