2024 Youth Racial Justice Pilgrimage

The Racial Justice Ministry organized a pilgrimage to reexamine American History and begin to collectively imagine what we as individuals and as a church are called to nurture the beloved community. They started in Selma by hearing from foot soldiers who brought about and participated in the marches that are credited with being a final push towards the passage of the Voting Rights Act. They then followed the path of the marchers to Montgomery a city significant for this march but also served as a hub of the slave trade, the Capital of the Confederacy, home of Dr. Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks, and now the home of the Equal Justice Initiative’s Legacy Museum and National Memorial for Peace and Justice.
