‘This is not Disneyland’: Tourism opportunities abound for Africatown Today 7:00 AM Early last year when a group of Rhodes Scholars planned a trip to Montgomery to learn about history from Michelle Browder, she called on some reenactors to help. About four reenactors showed up holding Confederate flags and shouting racial slurs at the white tourists. The idea was to “shock” the group with an experience civil rights activists may have felt in the 1960s. “When people got off the bus, they did not know it was a reenactment,” said Browder. “They were weeping. I had people (later) come up and say, ‘That is what we needed.’”
