THIS TRIP IS FULL.

Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Civil Rights March from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama

Join our Interfaith Community Trip to the historic site of the voting rights march. The Bridge Crossing Jubilee preserves, commemorates, educates, and raises awareness about the Voting Rights Movement, and the importance of voting rights and human rights today. Interesting historic note: The proposed changes to the White House’s draft of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 were crafted in the conference room of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, under the aegis of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights. The Leadership Conference on Civil Rights was located in the RAC’s building for several decades. As a Reform Congregation we take particular pride in our role during this historic social movement. Trip participants and others may wish to view the new movie Selma (opening in theaters in January).
