Living Legacy Project announces two new virtual program series for 2021!

1/10/2021

The Living Legacy Project’s mission is to provide experiential education about the American Civil Rights Movement that challenges, inspires and equips people from all backgrounds for justice work in their communities and beyond.  Since its founding, the Living Legacy Project (LLP) enacted its mission by taking people on Civil Rights Pilgrimages through the South meeting with Movement veterans and learning firsthand about the struggles that occurred there. 
 
In the late winter of 2020, the pandemic temporarily halted these Pilgrimages, challenging the LLP find new ways to do its work.  From May through October of last year, the Project offered a monthly online series focused on voting rights. Voting Rights: The Struggle Continues. In this series, we explored what we can learn from the Voting Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s to apply to challenges we face today in these unprecedented times. 
 
With the overwhelming success of this series, LLP is offering two new series in 2021, a speaker and a music series, under one roof, called 2021 Virtual Journeys: Two Routes to Inspiration and Action.

Because music was a critical part of the Civil Rights Movement and continues to be important to the work for civil rights and social justice today, we’ll begin our speaker and music series with a combined offering on Sunday, January 24, 2021, at 5:30-6:30 pm Eastern, Celebrate! The Music of the Civil Rights Movement.

We'll 
then split off on two interconnected journeys for the remaining programs to highlight the stories and the songs of the Movement.

​Attend any or all to be inspired and supported in your ongoing work for civil rights. 
  • Pivotal Events of the American Civil Rights Movement: A Virtual Living Legacy Pilgrimage will introduce you to some of the same amazing veterans of the Civil Rights Movement who you might meet on an in-person Pilgrimage to Alabama and Mississippi. This four-session virtual Living Legacy Pilgrimage will begin with a focus on the inspiring music of the Movement and then will take you on a journey through time from the Jim Crow laws of South to the Selma-to-Montgomery March for voting rights. We'll then travel into Mississippi to understand and learn from the tragedy and triumph of Freedom Rides and Freedom Summer. The speaker series will be offered on the 4th Sundays, Jan through April. 
  • Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me ‘Round: The Music of Civil Rights and Social Change will focus on music of the Civil Rights Movement. In this four-session series, we will present music that reaches back in time to the 1950s and 60s and music that is as new as a CD being released in 2021.  The music series will be held on 2nd Tuesdays, Feb through May. 
Programs are free and open to all. So that we can offer our guest speakers and musicians appropriate honoraria and support the ongoing work of the Living Legacy Project, we suggest and will gratefully receive a donation of $15 per program ($120 for all eight). More if you can, less if you can't.

Living Legacy Project, Inc. is now a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization!
