Journey through the American South on a reflective exploration of the Civil Rights Movement—past and present. This five-day, multi-city tour highlights key moments in the historic struggle and initiatives working to carry forward its legacy. Travel from Atlanta’s Sweet Auburn neighborhood through downtown Montgomery, walk the bridge from Selma, and step inside the sanctuaries of Birmingham. Immersive site visits and interfaith dialogue foster a deeper understanding of race, faith, and freedom in America; hearing the voices of movement veterans and contemporary activists inspires commitment to the ongoing struggle for racial justice.

MEJDI was one of the first global tour companies to earn B Corp Certification back in 2014, long before B Corp became widely recognized beyond sustainability circles. For us, this certification is a transparent way to demonstrate that we stand by our values: we ensure local vendors are paid fair wages, prioritize small, locally-owned businesses, and treat our partners and staff with dignity and respect. This deep commitment to social change drives MEJDI’s mission: “We exist to create a more peaceful and interconnected world through travel.”
