Space Remains for Next Week’s Sankofa Journey

CHICAGO, IL (July 27, 2011) – Space remains available for the Sankofa journey scheduled for August 4-7.

Sankofa is a West African word meaning “looking backward to move forward.” During the four-day bus journey, participants are paired with someone of another race and travel through historic sites of importance to the Civil Rights movement, such as the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama; the Kelly Ingram West Park with its graphic and moving sculptures, and the Martin Luther King Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

Cost is $425 for participants in Covenant churches and $475 for people who do not attend a Covenant congregation.
