Went on a Diocese of Wyoming pilgrimage in April of 2024. A day does not pass that some thing happens to remind me or call upon that experience. Blessings on your journey. What is your guide’s name? Might it be Ruby Braye? Hoping so, the description fits. She’s fantastic!
Tammy Beene. She’s been great. I’m on overload right now. 16th Street Baptist Church. Four little girls. Two young boys. Children “Foot soldiers”. Civil Tights Museum. If I hear the n word on more time I’m going to stomp my foot, spit and the scream.
Looking forward to your posts! I’ve actually been to Birmingham! It was the early 80s and my ex’s oldest friend was married to a young lady, whose last name was Sloss. They were baptizing the baby at the house (mansion). That part was fine, but I remember being appalled and angered when I noticed that all the servants were African American wearing black and white maid uniforms with white gloves. We were served and treated like royalty. On another note the lead pastor at Canterbury UMC is a good friend. 4,000 members!

I can't wait to visit more of the city tomorrow. So much to learn
Love traveling with you on this pilgrimage.
