As a supporter of our mission, we're thrilled to invite you to our upcoming benefit concert on Friday, March 8th, 2024, featuring Reggie Harris and Friends, a mesmerizing celebration of music and activism.

With the growing suppression of the teaching of history related to race and racism in our schools, the Living Legacy Project is more committed than ever to ensuring that the stories and lessons of the Civil Rights Movement do not get lost or forgotten. 
​
It's imperative that today’s generations and those to come understand how inequities in the 21st century are rooted in the past and how the courageous actions of those who went before them can serve to both teach and inspire them in their work for justice and equity.

In order to extend our reach in inspiring today's work for racial justice, we need your support.

Why your support matters!

How we plan to impact racism
​In order to extend our reach in inspiring today's work for racial justice, we need your support. With your help, we will:
  • Continue our signature pilgrimages to Mississippi and Alabama while developing pilgrimages to other places around the country that have civil rights lessons to share;
  • Partner with more colleges and youth groups to educate students about the importance of linking these stories to present day activism;
  • Offer resources to educators about the Civil Rights Movement; and
  • Continue to inspire and embolden activists with the music of the Civil Rights Movement and today’s protest music. 

We invite you to partner with us on our mission!

There’s a particular sense of urgency right now around capturing these stories … so young people can really see their relevance. We must utilize the power of these narratives to connect with the present-day equivalent. We can say, Tyre Nichols, who was killed here in Memphis [last year] and George Floyd aren’t that different from Emmett Till. Or Viola Liuzzo.
