This Alabama Living Legacy Pilgrimage comes at a time of great urgency in our country as the very essence of civil and human rights are being challenged with every passing day and with every tweet! And yet, the spirit of freedom has not been silenced, as evidenced by the millions who came out to vote in the recent mid-term election. This was and is today’s civil rights movement at its best!
So, in that spirit, we invite you to join this journey. You will meet people, hear stories, and visit sites that made the Civil Rights Movement an event that rocked the world. This five-day, four-night pilgrimage includes the following:
Now is the time to set a new agenda for gaining the knowledge and building a community of willing leaders who will stand in the gap as brave veteran of the civil rights struggle have done for so many decades. Come take your place on the long trail of history. Come see, learn, sing and make a new way and stand up for justice. The time is NOW! Your legacy is waiting!
