Description: Why This Trip Matters
A recent study revealed that resilient and successful young people in the U.S. share one key trait: they know their family history and the triumphs of their people. For far too long, our story has been told by others. It’s time to reclaim it. By visiting these sacred spaces of struggle and victory, our youth will gain a deeper understanding of their identity, strength, and purpose.

Civil Rights Tour 2025 Registration
Welcome to the registration page for our Civil Rights Tour 2025! Join us as we embark on an inspiring journey in October, 2025, exploring pivotal locations in the struggle for civil rights.
The Civil Rights Movement was deeply intertwined with Christian values, and the Black Church played a central role in leading and organizing the struggle for racial justice. Many of the movement's leaders, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., were inspired by Christian teachings of love, justice, and nonviolent resistance. The Black Church provided a spiritual foundation, offering both physical spaces for meetings and a moral framework, and Biblical prinicpals that guided the efforts of activists. Church leaders often served as influential spokespeople and organizers, and the faith community's commitment to equality and human dignity was central to the success of the movement. Through prayer meetings, sermons, and community action, the church helped mobilize grassroots efforts and galvanized a national movement for change.
Tour Highlights:
Atlanta, GA: Visit historic sites and learn about key figures in the movement.
Memphis, TN: Explore the National Civil Rights Museum and reflect on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Alabama: Experience the heart of the civil rights movement with visits to significant landmarks.
