Civil Rights Pilgrimage Spring 2017

We bring together diverse groups of people to dive deep into the struggles for racial, gender, and sexual justice and equality. Immersing ourselves in the wisdom and courage of these struggles help us today to engage in inspiration and experimentation toward a more just world. We study history and we listen to each others histories. Understanding how, today and in the past, we have pursued and demanded freedom and dignity, yet have adapted nimbly to specific policy domains and cultural environments is critical to moving forward. Examination of movements of the past compel us in new ways to challenge the present, to break barriers of all kinds, and to seek to make lasting change. These pilgrimages teach us that the tools for change are in our hands, if we will work with greater collaboration, among greater diversity, and with spirits of determination
