Living Legacy Project Youth Civil Rights Pilgrimage - June 5-9, 2017 REGISTRATION IS CLOSED
Near the site where the Rev. James Reeb was murdered
WE REGRET TO ANNOUNCE THAT THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED
The June 2017 Youth Civil Rights Pilgrimage (YCRP) will provide youth an opportunity to discover the history, the courage, and the commitment of the struggle for civil rights in this country. This is a spiritual journey, one that will invite every participant to become a pilgrim, examining their own commitments as we carry the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement veterans into today's racially unhealed world. It is an experience you will not forget.
This Pilgrimage will provide Unitarian Universalist youth with a special opportunity, in the true spirit of Sankofa, to explore the past while building the future.

CANCELLATION POLICY
if you cancel before March 15, 2017, you will receive a full refund minus the $100 deposit. Although we will do our best to provide refunds after this date, we might not be able to if we cannot refill your seat.
RATE ADJUSTMENTS
We make every effort to keep our rates as low as possible, while offering a comfortable journey for our participants. We make hotel and other reservations early to assure the best possible rates. However, we are dependent on hotel, gasoline, and other fluctuations outside of our control. If those prices increase substantially, we must adjust our rates to take those changes into account.
