Our Walks
We walk in the footsteps of our ancestors. Our journeys include walks on the Underground Railroad as well as historical walks, including the 1954 Voting Rights March from Selma-to-Montgomery, AL.
In between our longer walks celebrating our ancestors spirit, fortitude and fight for freedom, we explore local history and heroes through walks in recognition of historical land and landmarks.
