EJI Pilgrimage to Montgomery, Alabama
Pilgrimages to the Equal Justice Initiative Legacy Sites in Montgomery, Alabama
After taking students to the EJI's Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in 2018, we saw the transformative power of these spaces. No one leaves unchanged or apathetic; these sites demand action of their visitors. With that understanding, the Wake County Community Remembrance Coalition (WCCRC) began taking community stakeholders on annual "pilgrimages" to the EJI's sites in Montgomery, Alabama.
Our next pilgrimage will be on Friday, December 6th, 2024. The visit will include time to visit the Legacy Museum, the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, and if time permits, the new Freedom Monument Sculpture Park and a meeting with EJI staff.
Members of the group will purchase their own tickets on the same flight from Raleigh to Atlanta. Group leaders will rent vans to ferry members from Atlanta to Montgomery where participants will spend the day learning about the history of racial terrorism in the United States. Participants will be asked to make a donation to cover the cost of the vans. Meals will be at each person’s own expense. The day will be intense, both physically and emotionally, but time will be allotted for individual or group reflection. Past participants say that it is a most worthwhile trip.
More information and a link to register for this year’s pilgrimage will be coming soon.
