The Civil Rights Trail

We can’t wait to travel to Alabama with the Racial Justice Community Impact Circle.

In addition to the must-see historic stops below, we plan to meet with community leaders and changemakers. We’ll enjoy locally sourced restaurants, explore the scenic countryside, and even catch a minor league baseball game.

Together, we’ll deepen our understanding and appreciation for the movement, the history, the region, and the people who continue to push for progress.
