Step into Black History: Footsoldiers
How Everyday People from the Civil Rights Movement Continue to Inspire & Inform Anti-racist Action Today |
| The Black Freedom Movement of the 1950’s and 60’s called upon everyday people to take a stand against racism. As folks answered this call, they became known as foot soldiers and, collectively, their actions contributed to the success of the movement
In June 2024, The Race & Christian Community Initiative (RCCI) convened 9 people from Boston to embark on a Southern Civil Rights Pilgrimage where we had the opportunity to meet with foot soldiers. Courageous Conversations Toward Racial Justice has invited some of these local pilgrims to share how their encounters with foot soldiers informed their understanding of activism and inspire them to take action today.The framing and introduction for this panel will be offered by John Williams, Executive Director of the Center for Restorative Justice (CFRJ). The CFRJ hosts these Southern Civil Right Pilgrimages and will share about how you could participate in such an experience this summer or beyond. Please RSVP HERE – Zoom link will be provided after RSVP. |
