Travel is an act of hope. To voyage into the unknown, we turn our backs to the familiar. Through 13 months of a pandemic, Americans have fantasized about palm trees on talcum powder beaches, and foreign capitals with fashionable café society. For so many of us, travel dreams keep us going.
The U.S. Civil Rights Trail is perhaps the most hopeful trip of all. In 2018, tourism boards across the South designated a series of landmarks to tell the story of America’s ongoing fight for voting rights and racial justice: The Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma. A Woolworth lunch counter in Greensboro. A high school in Little Rock. Think of it as the stations of Dr. King’s “arc of justice.”
