In November, FPCW will be sponsoring a racial justice pilgrimage to a number of important historic civil rights sites in Birmingham, Selma, and Montgomery, Alabama. While specific plans for the pilgrimage are still in the development stage, the itinerary will most likely include the Edmund Pettis Bridge in Selma; the Legacy Museum, the National Memorial for Peace and Justice and the Civil Rights Museum in Montgomery; the Civil Rights Memorial and the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham.
The tour will begin in Birmingham on Thursday morning, November 2nd, and end back in Birmingham on Sunday, November 5th. Travel arrangements include direct flights from/to O’Hare or carpooling with other participants if that is preferred.
