| A foot soldier leads the pilgrims through an activity at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery |

| The full class of Durham to Alabama, 2024 |
The Durham to Alabama Pilgrimage is a five-day intensive journey through the heart of Alabama. Pilgrims travel by bus to Birmingham, Marion, Selma, and Montgomery, following the path, both geographically and chronologically, of Civil Rights heroes of the faith. With the Holy Spirit as a companion, pilgrims walk, pray, and reflect, in expectation that God will allow them a glimpse into what occurred and what it means for us today. Aided by trained facilitators and eyewitness accounts of foot soldiers who marched in the face of hatred, the pilgrimage is a powerful, spiritually formative experience that leaves you forever changed.
