This Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Savannah Bike Tours invites you to experience our beautiful city in a way that honors its rich history and the enduring legacy of Dr. King. As we reflect on his message of equality, justice, and peace, we encourage you to join us for a journey through Savannah's historic streets, where every cobblestone has a story to tell.
Savannah, Georgia, a city steeped in history, played a significant role in the Civil Rights Movement. Including Second African Baptist Church, located right around the corner from our shop, where General Rufus Saxton publically addressed former slaves and church members about General Sherman’s Special Field Order #15, better known as the famous “forty acres and a mule” proclamation. Many years later, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would preach his “I Have a Dream” sermon in the same Second African Baptist Church, an address he repeated during his famous march on Washington, D.C. in 1963. Our tours offer a unique opportunity to connect with this past, cycling through neighborhoods and past landmarks that witnessed both struggle and triumph.
