Tour to Vanport - Nov 15th - 17th
Join CCMI, Plymouth Congregational Church, and Museum Without Walls as we explore the complex social history of Vanport.
Between 1942 and 1945, Vanport was the largest wartime housing development in the country and the second largest city in Oregon. By 1948, it was still home to 18,500 residents, including many African Americans. However, in less than two hours, a devastating flood wiped out the town, leaving a displaced community and raising many lingering questions.
The trip is limited to 20 participants. A $500 deposit is required by October 10. Click here for trip details and to register.
TRIP TO SELEMA, ALABAMA
MARCH 6 - 14, 2025
The Selma Jubilee honors the anniversary of Bloody Sunday, which occurred on March 7, 1965, when 525 African-American demonstrators crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, demanding their right to vote. They were violently confronted by more than 50 state troopers, horses, and posse men, who brutally attacked them when they refused to turn back. This shocking event was broadcast nationwide, revealing the grim reality of racism in the South. Two weeks later, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led 3,200 civil rights activists on a historic 49-mile march from Selma to Montgomery, which helped spur the passage of the Voting Rights Act.
Join us for this special anniversary as we honor those courageous foot soldiers and explore other significant Civil Rights landmarks, including Bryan Stevenson’s Legacy sites—the Legacy Museum, Peace and Justice Memorial, and Freedom Monument Sculpture Park.
The trip is limited to 26 participants. A $500 deposit is required by November 15. Click here for trip details and to register.
