Wanda Battle lives in Montgomery, Alabama, where she owns and operates her Legendary Tours company, which teaches about the Civil Rights Era but has a far grander ambition: “to engage in life-changing conversations” that will inspire guests to become their “greatest” selves and be “committed to love, respect, care for all mankind”.
Our discussion covers, among other things:
*her family’s involvement with the Montgomery bus boycott
*Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s teachings of unconditional non-violence
*the inarguable, but precarious, renaissance she sees around her
*the arts, the beaches and all else she loves about Alabama and Montgomery
*building community with her tour guests
Wanda finds hope in her ability to be a voice for love and forgiveness and in the conversations she has with guests (and even on the American Tributaries podcast). You can learn more about Wanda’s work at www.wandahbattle.com.
