We'd planned to go to Birmingham for dinner at Highland but it’s closed on Monday. Oops! Pivot and go straight to Montgomery to see the Legacy Museum just in time before it closes for the night. Not a fan of Montgomery but it’s worth a trip there for this museum. Montgomery, not Nola, was the largest port of slave trade and this museum was built basically on the port. It connects the dots very clearly from then to now, and really works to honor the people who were enslaved and discarded.
