Mobile, AL – The Mobile Historic Development Commission will start offering bus tours for the city's African-American Heritage Trail in April now that the final three markers have been unveiled.
The markers that were unveiled Sunday afternoon note the Mobile slave market, self-emancipated slave Wallace Turnage and Michael Donald, a teen who was found hanging from a tree just west of downtown in March 1981.
Dora Finley, who chairs the African-American Heritage Trail Committee, said the commission will offer groups charter bus tours for the 40-site trail.
Finley also said a cyberspace tour will be available in July.
School tours for fourth-graders studying Alabama history will start in September. The trail also includes the home site of baseball legend Hank Aaron.
