Henson Hollow

Henson Hollow, located in Talladega, Alabama, is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in American history and culture. This peaceful valley holds a special place in the hearts of locals and tourists alike, as it served as the backdrop for several crucial events during the Civil Rights Movement. Named after local civil rights activist Rev. Cordy Tindell "C.T." Vivian's mother, Sarah Henson, Henson Hollow is a key site in understanding the struggle for racial equality.

During the 1960s, this hollow was a gathering place for leaders and participants of the Civil Rights Movement, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rev. C.T. Vivian. It was here that they organized marches, protests, and other forms of peaceful resistance to the oppressive racial segregation laws. Today, visitors can walk through the hollow and learn about these significant moments in American history through interactive exhibits and displays.

Apart from its historical significance, Henson Hollow also offers stunning natural surroundings, making it a peaceful and serene escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
