Civil Rights Then & Now:
Legacy of a Movement, the Role of Faith

Global Leader in Socially Conscious Travel.

Tour Dates:

April 1-6, 2027

Registration Deadline: December 2, 2026

Pricing: $2,475*

You’re invited to join others who are continually seeking ways to live out the words of Micah 6:8 by deepening our appreciation of the U. S. Civil Rights movement in 1960’s, led by Rev. Dr. Marting Luther King.

This journey through the American South highlights key moments in the historic struggle and initiatives working to carry forward its legacy. Travel from Atlanta’s Sweet Auburn neighborhood to the sanctuaries of Birmingham, through downtown Montgomery; walk across the bridge in Selma and explore the landmarks of Jackson. Immersive site visits and dialogue foster a deeper understanding of race, faith, and freedom in America; hearing the voices of movement veterans and contemporary activists inspires commitment to the ongoing struggle for racial justice.

*Double occupancy, per person pricing based on a minimum of 12 travelers in the group. Single occupancy supplement available.

MEJDI was one of the first global tour companies to earn B Corp Certification back in 2014, long before B Corp became widely recognized beyond sustainability circles. For us, this certification is a transparent way to demonstrate that we stand by our values: we ensure local vendors are paid fair wages, prioritize small, locally-owned businesses, and treat our partners and staff with dignity and respect. This deep commitment to social change drives MEJDI’s mission: “We exist to create a more peaceful and interconnected world through travel.”
