Sojourn Project’s empowering, academic, eight-day/seven-night immersion Journeys take you far beyond the classroom. Sojourn is not a vacation. You’ll retrace the path of the Modern Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s across five states in the American South. Visiting the homes, churches, public buildings, edifices, and monuments where defining moments disrupted, changed, and continue to shapeshift the fabric of our nation. Spending time with those whose lives were touched most deeply. It is our mission that no one is turned away because of income level, academic track record, or immigration status.
When students can recognize that their own voices count, then we have done our job.
