Attendees on first-ever Alumni Trip learn about the civil rights movement

Alumni, faculty, and staff traveled to Alabama over spring break for the School's first-ever Alumni Trip. The trip was an opportunity for all attendees to experience continued learning and growth alongside members of the St. Andrew's community around the history and legacy of the civil rights movement. Some of the trip highlights included:

• Brad Bennett ‘86 welcomed attendees to Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church, where Martin Luther King Jr. was a pastor and where Bennett is a deacon today.

• Jake Williams from Montgomery Tours guided attendees along the exact route of the 1965 Selma to Montgomery Voting Rights March, imbuing the tour with stories from his lived experience during the civil rights movement.

• Steven L. Reed, the Mayor of Montgomery, Alabama, inspired attendees as he outlined the city's efforts to advance the goals of the civil rights movement.

• The Burns Brothers facilitated reflections and helped attendees absorb their experience and plan their own next steps.
