Since 1998 the Faith & Politics Institute has led more than 300 members of the U.S. House and Senate with Congressman John Lewis as well as former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama through Alabama on this nearly annual pilgrimage. In Montgomery, Birmingham, and Selma, we have retraced the footsteps of the leaders and foot soldiers of the civil rights movement that changed the course of American history. Political leaders have described the pilgrimage as a transformative moment in their public service.
