It's a call for our time.   

​

Racism continues to hold a grip on our nation.   We see this enduring reality through the widening wealth gap between blacks and whites; disparate health impacts for African Americans during Covid 19, child birth, and climate change; and the treatment of people of color in the criminal justice system – to name just a few examples.  Over the centuries, white faith communities have been deeply complicit in this story of oppression.  But we believe there’s a stirring among people of faith, a hunger, for racial justice and healing.  Many just aren’t sure how to go about it and could use a partner along the way.

Are you ready to take the next step?

If you'd like to stand at the resting place for Dr. King and Corretta Scott King, enter the sanctuary of the 16th St. Baptist Church in Birmingham, walk the Edmund Pettus Bridge, gaze up at the hanging bronze markers of the Equal Justice Initiative's Peace and Justice Memorial, and hear the reflections of our pilgrimage participants along the way (spoken AND in song!), here's all of that in a 10 minute video.
