Wearing a Michigan sweatshirt and hat, he listened intently as Jerria Martin, who served as his unofficial tour guide for the day, told him about the history of Selma and the Bloody Sunday march.

“It was a powerful part of change for our country and just to be able to be here and meet some people that affected that change and understand what they were up against and what their courage had to be like, what their vision [was] and ultimately understand their success was something I thought I could learn from and draw inspiration from and I did,” Harbaugh said. “I’m glad that we’re here.”

“Even though I’m a diehard Roll Tide fan, it gives me great joy to show our city to this group of just awesome folk, who are here not only to witness history and our historic past but to learn about our hopeful future,” Martin said.

Not only did Harbaugh ask Martin about the history, but he also asked about the city’s school system, the city’s job situation and other topics.

“He was really concerned about Selma,” Martin said.

Even though he said he’d had a couple of “Roll Tides” and “War Eagles” yelled his way, he said he was enjoying his stop in SEC country.

“It’s all good; it’s all good. My priorities in the North are faith, family and football and I know that’s what they are here,” Harbaugh said. “I have a real connection to all the people that I’ve met and I feel at home here. I really, really do. There’s so many things I love about it. The people and the hospitality have been at the top of the list. That’s been No. 1. Good down to earth genuine, good people. I’m happy here and I’m enjoying myself immensely.”

This is awesome!
