MARCH 2024 UPDATE: THIS OFFERING HAS BEEN POSTPONED. NEW DATE WILL BE ANNOUCED.

Join VISIONS for a unique workshop and tour experience along the Alabama Civil Rights Trail in Montgomery, Birmingham, and Selma from Wednesday, May 1 to Monday, May 6th!

Beginning on the evening of April 30th, participants will be introduced to VISIONS' foundational model, frameworks, and tools while visiting key Alabama civil rights sites including:

• The Equal Justice Initiative’s (EJI's) National Memorial for Peace and Justice and The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration in Montgomery
• The Civil Rights District including the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute (BCRI), Kelly Ingram Park, 16th Street Baptist Church, and other historic sites in Birmingham
• The Edmund Pettus Bridge, Brown Chapel AME Church, the National Voting Rights Museum and Institute, and other historic sites in Selma.

During the workshop portions of the five-day experience, participants will enhance their personal skills for relating and working across difference, engage in reflective work about their group identities, and learn to understand and mitigate the ways that modern forms of oppression might show up in their lives. Each evening, additional time will be available for affinity groups. These groups will be designed to support any emotional/feeling responses that might arise from the tour portions of the day.

Workshops and accommodations will be based at the Wingate by Wyndham Hotel, 2060 Eastern Blvd, Montgomery, AL 36117 for all five nights. Breakfast at the hotel is included from May 2 to May 6, 2024. Check-in at the hotel is at 3:00 pm Central Time.
