Tuesday 27 June - Sunday 2 July 2023
This six-day/five-night experience is open to individuals within and beyond the CFS community, including educators in schools and colleges as well as Friends meeting members and other curious adults.
Experience civil rights history in Birmingham, Selma, Montgomery, Tuskegee, and Atlanta; explore contemporary issues of race in our country; and meet change-agents working to make a difference.
As we travel, enjoy music of the movement, see documentaries and film clips, and learn from our experienced historian tour leaders.
Be educated. Be challenged. Be inspired. By where we go, by what we learn, by whom we encounter--and by your fellow travelers.
Here's a one-page flyer you can share with a friend.
Educators, learn more about professional growth programs for you through the Institute for Teaching and Learning.

Until we reckon with history, we’re not going to be free. I think there’s something better waiting for us that we can’t get to until we talk honestly about our past.
