March to Memphis
From March 31 to April 4, 2018, a mixed group of black and white teens will be marching 50 miles from deep in Mississippi to the National Civil Rights Museum - the site of the Lorraine Motel where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968. This march will be commemorating 50 years since Dr. King's passing - and will be continuing his work of racial justice, economic justice, and racial reconciliation. This march is sponsored by the PEARSON Foundation of Pearl, Mississippi. PEARSON is a faith-based mentoring and community service organization modeling reconciliation and healthy racial relations.
