In eleven days, forty-five people will gather in Birmingham for the start of the 2013 Living Legacy Pilgrimage. The staff has been preparing for almost a full year, deciding the route, making hotel reservations, planning the program, contacting resource people, updating the website, taking reservations, and having faith that enough people would be interested in immersing themselves in the civil rights movement journey.
The staff can't wait!
Every time we take this trip -- for some of the staff, it is their eight or ninth journey -- we experience something new. This journey is all about grounding ourselves in building a better world. It's learning from those who stood against forces much greater than themselves and proved that nothing is more powerful than justice.
We hope you'll ride along with us as we travel from Birmingham to Marion, Selma and Montgomery, Alabama and then on to Meridian, Philadelphia, Jackson, Greenwood, Money, Ruleville, Oxford, Mississippi, and then back to Birmingham. Even if it's from your desk chair, learning about the civil rights movement and being inspired by the stories of the people who changed history will make a difference in your life and ultimately the world around you.
We hope you'll come along with us.
