Welcome to our Journey together!
SAA will take you from Atlanta to Montgomery and then to New Orleans. We will connect our past – to the present – to move forward. We’ll do this by creating thoughtful dialogue while experiencing elements of the past. This is an opportunity to stand in places where our nation’s history marked our path forward.
Together, we will explore how decisions made in the past affected U.S. history through the lens of Human Rights and Civil Rights.
