Living Legacy Project presents...
Two Routes to Inspiration and Action in 2021

Join us for two online series between January and May. Sign up for one program of particular interest or all eight for an in-depth look at the stories and music that power movements for change. 

Pivotal Events of the Civil Rights Movement
A Virtual Living Legacy Pilgrimage

This series, offered on the 4th Sunday of the month at 5:30 pm Eastern from January through April, will begin with a focus on the inspiring music of the Movement and then will take you on a journey through time from draconian Jim Crow laws to Freedom Rides, Freedom Summer, and the Selma to Montgomery March for Voting Rights. 

​​Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me ‘Round
The Music of Civil Rights and Social Change

​Our music series, offered on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm Eastern from February through May, 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 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) has 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. In it, 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. 

After the overwhelming success of our first virtual series in 2020, Voting Rights: The Struggle Continues, LLP is offering concurrent speaker and music series in 2021. Join us for any or all of these exciting programs, and don't forget to watch the programs you missed from the voting rights series. 

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, and then split off on two interconnected journeys to highlight the stories and the songs of the Movement. 

Join us for any or all of these exciting programs. They are free and open to all. Donations are appreciated!
