Resident Field Trip / Expanded Coverage

At Court Square Fountain

Our residents and several staff members recently took a field trip to downtown Montgomery to learn about Montgomery's history and how our past still affects us today. They also visited EJI's National Memorial for Peace and Justice. It was a good day of learning and exploring. Twyanna Penick was our guide.
