We visited Troy University's Rosa Parks Museum in Montgomery, AL on Jan 7, 2026 as part of Road…read moreScholar's "The Civil Rights Movement - Atlanta, Montgomery, Selma, Birmingham" program. As the name indicates, this museum is entirely about the titular civil rights icon. Tickets were covered by our program. We spent less than an hour here, in part because we got two other sites to visit in our day's itinerary. Our tour guide informed us that photography was not allowed inside the exhibition rooms. (Judging by the content on this business listing, that didn't stop other visitors from taking photos.) In the first room, we saw a short film that summarizes the segregation in Montgomery prior to Parks' historic act. After that, we went another room and were standing in front of a bus modeled after the one that Parks boarded and refused to give up her seat. The bus's windows serves as screens for another short film that re-enacted the historic moment. The dialogue is boosted by surround sound all over the room so that visitors could feel what it was like at that moment. After that, we went into the third and final room of exhibits showing what happened after Parks' arrest and its impact on the Civil Rights Movement. I recalled life-size figures, a model of a 1950s car and dimmed lighting. (Many thanks to Lulu Wang and her article "Rosa Parks Museum: Take You Back to 1955, Montgomery, AL" in medium.com for helping with my recollections.) The museum is clearly focused on Rosa Parks the civil rights icon, but not Rosa Parks the person, family member and human being. To my recollection, there was little mention about her life before and after the bus boycott (and the larger Civil Rights Movement). Nor was there a mention of the asteroid named after her: 284996 Rosaparks. I learnt about that from a "Doctor Who" episode (series 11, episode 3, titled "Rosa"). I don't recall if the exhibits mention of Parks' prior encounter with the bus driver James Blake 12 years earlier. After paying her fare at the front entrance, she tried to enter through the back entrance. But Blake drove off without her. Some accounts claimed that she refused to board. It'd be nice to know what's the museum's take on that incident. Of the three Montgomery mini-sites about the Civil Rights movement - the other two being the Civil Rights Memorial Center and the Freedom Rides Museum - the Rosa Parks museum is the smallest in space and content, and the only one that does not allow photography. I was the least happy with it. It's certainly worth the visit if done in conjunction with the Civil Rights Memorial Center and the Freedom Rides Museum, both of which are within walking distance. In addition to that, go see the Rosa Parks statue at the Rosa Parks Bus Stop on Court Square, which is also within walking distance.

I'm not sure in what direction he will go as far as choosing a college, but so far I like it. Although Huntingdon is not an HBCU, I would definitely look into attending this college. We were able to take pictures in the weight room, and me and the boys got a chance to enjoy the beautiful campus they have. It wasn't that far from Birmingham, and the staff really seem to care about their students not "Just" as football players, but as individuals and their success in the classrooms. Overall, this seems to be a really good college, and even though, once again, its not an HBCU, I will fully support this school.

Even if your course covers the same units, in addition to extra units not covered in their course, you will not get credit for it. On top of that, advisors will ensure they take as long as possible to respond to you. And who knows, they may not have responded at all if I didn't contact another staff member, as it makes them look bad when they are CC'd on the email. It's really sad that people can be so careless about programs that only operate once a year considering that the timeline can push back my education and chance at a career. Especially considering that I unexpectedly had to relocate to this state due to military orders and despite that, I prepared well in advance. I spent months preparing for this including taking & paying for the ACT (I only took the SAT in high school), gathering my transcripts, sending them over, and talking to academic advisors and program advisors, only for them to wait for the absolute last minute, literal DAYS before the program deadline for sonography to tell me that my transfer credits would not be accepted despite the course covering not only the same units, but even more advanced units than offered here. I'm so glad I took my time, money, and motivation to Troy University who accepted the same course that Trenholm denied, along with nearly all of my transfer credits. I also got set up with a program advisor and academic advisor who streamlined my process and helped me with everything I needed. I actually get mad whenever I hear Trenholm being advertised on the radio or billboards, because how do you have the time for that when you can't even dedicate a second of your time to help your students? Also, everyone knows Alabama needs more medical staff, especially more competent ones. Crazy to see how casual they are about this program, especially considering the next closest one is at minimum 1.5 hours away from Montgomery.
