2023 MLK Freedom Bus Tour - November 13-17
Participants engage in a week-long journey exploring iconic human and civil rights spaces in Memphis, Birmingham, Montgomery and Selma. In addition to museums in most of the cities, we also visit the Lorraine Motel in Memphis; the 16th Street Baptist Church and Kelly Ingram Park in Birmingham; the Equal Justice Initiative’s new Lynching Memorial in Montgomery; and the iconic Edmund Pettus Bridge and Brown Chapel AME Church in Selma, among other interesting sites. This extraordinary pilgrimage satiates the participants’ quest for greater meaning as we contemplate the cornerstones of democracy. Availability is on a first come/first serve basis. Due to the low cost, as advertised, all monies are forfeited that are not used by the respective participant who cannot make the trip. In this case, monies will be used to fund scholarship opportunities for youth and/or disadvantaged adults.
The cost is $450 per person and covers the cot of travel, hotel stay and museum admissions. Food is NOT included. Deadline for payment is September 1, 2023. Register by contacting us at 319-291-4441 or by emailing Abraham. Funchess@waterloo-ia.org.
