Mrs Verna Harris was sitting on the porch of her home when the Millies dropped by on the tour of historical places in Montgomery, Alabama. Millie P asked permission to take a picture of the house and Mrs Harris invited Millie to come sit on the porch and talk with her. Mrs. Harris answered questions and shared memories of the Civil Rights Days of the 50's and 60s. She shared that the Freedom Riders stayed at her home and that she got the food to feed them from the restaurant next door to her husband's pharmacy. Mrs Harris is now 88 years young and a beautiful, delightful and friendly woman !
