Alabama Pictures

PB&J with Dr. Larie Ross Hunter, Birmingham AL (Not the accessible) entrance to the Civil Rights Museum in Birmingham, AL. A very impressive facility, it tells it like it is/was, portraying truth and in so doing showing the remarkable powerful group of people. When I state that we (people with disabilities) share something in common with people of African-American heritage, I certainly don't mean that we have in any way experienced what I saw depicted in this or other civil rights museums. I simply mean that we too have experienced the demeaning, devaluing and certainly discouraging affects of discrimination -- both behavior and attitudes. These photos are obviously the same, but one is entirely unflattering of J and the other is the same for PB.

PB&J flanked by school representatives. On the far right is Mike Constein, Director of Disability Resources in Gainesville, GA. Mike was responsible for arranging the speaking engagements at both Gainesville high schools. We hope/intend to return to the Gainesville, GA area sometime to do much more speaking and provide whatever assistance we can to increase public awareness of people with disabilities and disability issues. Scene in Mentone, AL taken from the porch of the Wildflower Cafe. Mentone lies in the northeast corner of Alabama in what's called the Brow of the Appalachian Mountains.

Being interviewed for an article in the Groundhog, local weekly Mentone newspaper.

Mom/Mom-in-law of the Wildflower Cafe owners, she enjoyed serving guests and also entertaining with her "pickin an grinnin" bluegrass style. Not where we stayed, but a cool old establishment that certainly draws people -- the Mentone Springs Hotel, established 1884 (so states the sign in the foreground.)

From here able to see Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and according to some viewpoints a bit of Heaven. We stand in a park in Mentone, AL, in an area known as the Brow of the Appalachians. View as we walked out of the park and back into Mentone, AL.

in Mentone, AL, a shot of the highway that would take us back to Birmingham. PB&J and Dessie, owner of the Kountry Chef and keeper of the recipe for the "world's best catfish" (Mentone, AL) A city park in Birmingham, AL. (Justice is retrieving a water bottle that Phyllis dropped.)

Retrieval completed. Water tower in Clanton, AL
