More than 30 people from the Great Plains Conference and some friends from the Louisiana Conference are taking part July 12-16 in a civil rights immersion in Montgomery, Alabama, and surrounding areas. Day three featured an opportunity to walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, the same bridge where people were savagely beaten while marching for voting rights; a tour of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham; and the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, which tells the story of Alabama's history and the struggle for equality.
