BUS RIDE TO JUSTICE He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8

Ignite Student Ministry of Strong Tower Bible Church and Ethos Students of Ethos Church will be coming together for the “Bus Ride to Justice” travel experience. The “Bus Ride to Justice” travel experience is a unique element of experiential learning for students. Students will spend two days touring significant sites of the U.S. Civil Rights movement throughout Alabama. Each stop immerses students and adult leaders in intergenerational conversations rooted in the past struggle and challenges learners to think about the work that remains in our society. This particular model of learning moves participants to consider their own responses to racial injustices as they stand in the physical spaces of past events and allow the voices and faces of history to inform and frame their actions for the future. The journey intends to highlight God’s redemptive work throughout history, prompting students to ask thoughtful, theological questions concerning the mistreatment of all oppressed peoples. The highlights of the travel experience include: The 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL • Dexter Avenue Baptist Church • The Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma The Equal Justice Initiative's Legacy Museum and National Memorial for Peace & Justice The Tuskegee Airmen National Historical Museum

• The Tuskegee Human and Civil Rights Multicultural Center

The National Voting Rights Museum & Institute & the Slavery and Civil War Museum
