“Freedom” and “equality” are words used throughout the foundational documents and anthems of our nation. On the surface, every person in the US should have the same access to resources and opportunities to build a fruitful life. The reality is harsher than the ideal. For centuries, people of color have faced obstacles, challenges, injustices, and brutalities because of their skin color or nation of origin. Recent times have highlighted the 400-year-old struggle of racism and inequality in America. To make Dr. Martin Luther King’s “dream” a reality, we must educate ourselves about the past and dedicate ourselves to work towards the freedom and equality we’ve shouted about since our country’s inception.

A Wonder Voyage Civil Rights Pilgrimage has several locations in the south: Atlanta, Montgomery, Selma, Birminghamand Memphis. The journey follows the stories of those who marched, protested, and died in the struggle to shine light upon the inequalities and injustices in the land where all are “created equal.” Each day adds a new layer of understanding and perspective to current conversations about privilege and prejudice. Join Wonder Voyage on the road to freedom and develop the knowledge to be part of the solution.“Freedom” and “equality” are words used throughout the foundational documents and anthems of our nation.
