On Saturday, February 25th, from
10am until 4pm, we invite you to join us in Graham, North Carolina, for an
Alamance County Pilgrimage. In a time when political rhetoric often imagines two Americas—one urban, one rural—we will engage the grounds of the Alamance County Courthouse and its complex history as a place of “Red String” resistance to the Civil War, a lynching site during the Redemption movement, and a contemporary space where racial disparities of our criminal justice system are played out.
Click the email button below and email us names of any attendees that would like to join us for this special day of education, conversation, and transformation. Lunch and materials will be provided.
Where: First United Methodist Church / 303 N. Main St. Graham, NC

When: February 25th from 10AM-4PM
