The Living Legacy Project’s mission is to provide experiential education about the American Civil Rights Movement that challenges, inspires, and equips people from diverse backgrounds and identities for justice work in their communities and beyond in order to create a just and equitable world free from racism and other systems of oppression.
The Living Legacy Project conducts pilgrimages to important sites in the American Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s as well as online programs about the Civil Rights Movement, the music of the Movement, and other topics related to voting rights and racism. Contact Annette Marquis (email), Director of Operations, for more information about a custom pilgrimage or program for your congregation or group.
