Trip Testimonials
“The Civil Rights Tour was a life-changing experience! Meeting figures involved in ‘The Movement’ along with each site was not only incredibly educational, but more importantly, challenged me to think more deeply about my experiences and my faith.
This experience perfectly embodied the concept of "reconciliation" from Messiah’s mission statement. It was a rare opportunity in my life to spend an extended period devoted to education and deep reflection, engaging in discussions about topics that are critical to our society alongside people I felt safe with.”

This trip gave me the history lesson that I never received in any of my education. It equipped me with the knowledge and awareness that is necessary to navigate the world we live in today. The trip is immersive and intentional.
Each stop is full of a wealth of information and even the bus ride itself includes movies, documentaries, and conversations that further explain this moment in history – from the time you wake up to the time you lay your head on the hotel pillow, you are confronted with information from this time in history and asked to grapple with how it not only affected our past, but continues to have an impact today and in the future.”
