Description
This experience is only open to CRS members. Adults must be 21+.
Join Rabbi Deborah Goldberg on a Civil Rights Journey to Atlanta, Montgomery, and Birmingham. During these three days, we will meet with Reverends who worked with Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and experience church services at the famed Ebenezer Baptist Church. Among the many sites we will visit are the Rosa Parks Museum and the Equal Justice Initiative’s Legacy Museum & Lynching Memorial. We will speak with activists who marched from Selma to Montgomery and walked across the Edmund Pettus Bridge*.
Alongside these and other incredible first-hand experiences, we will engage with the contemporary realities of race and racism, the legacy of civil rights, and consider how each of us can make an impact. We will also enjoy building our own community as we travel, eat, and reflect together.
This program is run through Etgar 36, a pluralistic, nonpartisan, nonprofit Jewish educational venture that leads Jewish groups to the South. These groups seek to better understand the history of the civil rights movement and the connection between Jews and Blacks during that time, and to reflect on and consider these issues in the present moment.
