Civil Rights Pilgrimage

Inspired by the historic Freedom Rides of the Civil Rights movement, Dumas Harshaw will lead a Civil Rights Pilgrimage to Montgomery, Alabama. This is a Freedom Ride retreat intended to be spiritually moving and reflective. Retreat leader Dr. Harshaw is a Howard Thurman scholar and retired pastor of First Baptist Church in Raleigh, where he served for over 20 years. He has specialized his ministry to use the power of prayer and non-violent engagement to set our hopes on the “Beloved Community”, where everybody is somebody.

This 5-day, 4-night experience will take us from SFSPC to various iconic Civil Rights locations including the King Center in Atlanta, Dexter Ave. Baptist Church where Rosa Parks trained peaceful sit-ins, and then the Legacy Museum in Montgomery, before returning back to SFSPC for a time to debrief and reflect on the experience. 

Cost: $650 Per Person (includes all food, Lodging*, Transportation, and event expenses.)

$550 Per Person if you sign up before January 31, 2026.

*Lodging will be double occupancy so you will have a roommate.
