Participants travel by bus through Florida to mostly rural communities to see, hear, and feel historic events and engage in dialogue with community members. Historians, educators, and expert facilitators bring historical narratives to life and lead interactive and creative activities that help participants process their experiences and heal.  Itineraries vary, but highlights include visits to:

o   Rosewood, Florida, the site of the 1923 massacre

Visit the only Black-owned property in Rosewood, a once-thriving Black community. The property is the future site of a Peace House to be used by groups engaged in truth and reconciliation processes.

o   Newberry, Florida, the site of one of Florida’s most infamous racial lynching

Visit Dudley Farm State Park (a former plantation) and meet with community leaders who worked with the Equal Justice Initiative to publically memorialize the 1916 lynching of six residents.

o   Mims, Florida, the site of the KKK’s Christmas Day bombing of the Moore homestead

Visit Harry T. & Harriette V. Moore Memorial Park and Museum to learn about two of the earliest activists in the Modern Civil Rights Movement. 

o   Montgomery, Alabama, home to the Equal Justice Initiative and birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement

Visit the Equal Justice Initiative’s Legacy Museum, National Memorial to Peace and Justice, and other sites in Montgomery, Alabama, that are significant to the development of the institution of slavery in the United States and Civil Rights Movement.
