My guest today is Wanda Battle, a Montgomery, Alabama native, great Jalimuso, female Griot, talented singer and master storyteller. She is the former tour director of Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church in Montgomery where the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. pastored for almost 6 years while he led the Montgomery Bus Boycott. She is now the founder and CEO of Legendary Tours LLC. She has a passion for human and civil rights, and social justice. She is no stranger to the historical relevance of Montgomery. Being born during the 1956 Montgomery Bus Boycott and raised during the 1960’s Civil Rights Movement, Wanda has grown up with a strong sense of community and she loves to share that with people through the art of storytelling.
