Legacy Trip Alabama with Tina Strawn in Selma, AL, USA (2024)

Meet us in Alabama for our Legacy Trip visiting Selma during the 60th Anniversary festivities around the Jubilee that marks the protest for Voting Rights and Bloody Sunday that happened on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma in 1965.

Together, we will face the truth of our nation's history of anti-Black racial terror and violence, self reflect on the ways each of us have upheld and perpetuated white supremacy in our lives, and embrace our ability to affect change and dismantle racism, first within ourselves, and then in our families and communities.

Our purpose is to listen to and learn from Black leadership, utilize antiracism tools and resources to strategize ways to do less harm, be better co-conspirators to BIPOC and develop ways to move forward with mindful action toward collective liberation.

Once registered, participants will receive soul assignments, which is basically pre-work (books, podcasts, documentaries, etc) to help them get started on building a solid foundation for their personal anti-racism journey.

This anti-racism weekend includes visits to: The National Memorial For Peace and Justice, The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration, the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, The Freedom Riders Museum and more.

Following every Legacy Trip, guests are invited and encouraged to participate in free monthly alumni calls to stay engaged with the Legacy family and continue cultivating community and accountability in their ongoing antiracism journey. We also offer a Legacy Trips After Care program for those who want a more expansive and comprehensive support system.

We invite you to engage in this transformational experience as we delve into these courageous conversations with trip facilitator and Legacy Trips founder, Tina Strawn.

Tina is also the owner and host of the Speaking of Racism podcast and she is the co-founder of the movement to ban guns and buy them back, Here 4 The Kids. The heart of Tina's work is founding and leading Legacy Trips, immersive antiracism experiences where participants visit historical locations such as Montgomery and Selma, AL, and utilize spiritual practices as tools to affect personal and collective change.
