After a successful Civil Rights trip in 2023, B'nai Israel is excited to offer this opportunity to our community again.
Join us for this important experience. This special Civil Rights journey uses the history, sites, and current issues as a springboard to highlight the relationship, and at times, the tension, of the Jewish and American identity. The journey will be a mix of fun, sightseeing, education, and meetings with organizations and people who have been and are still involved in creating America.
Participants will learn about the struggles of African Americans to gain equality in the 1950s & 60s and explore how Jews were involved in the struggle for Civil Rights. Participants will walk away understanding why Jews, as people who have known oppression, must care and act when others are oppressed.
Trip Highlights Include:
- Cities of Atlanta, Montgomery, Selma, and Birmingham
- Martin Luther King Center and Tomb/Auburn Avenue District
- Old Ebenezer Baptist Church
- Freedom Park
- 16th Street Baptist Church
- Walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge
- Rosa Parks Museum
- Equal Justice Initiative Legacy Museum and Memorial to Peace & Justice
