Equal Justice Initiative Alabama Day 4

Today we were blessed to meet the people from the Equal Justice Initiative who told us about their unique programs for juvenile and death row clients.  This was a nice balance of modern racial issues and our civil rights knowledge.  After lunch we went to the Civil Rights Museum and signed a petition to end injustice to the best of our abilities.
By placing my name on the Wall of Tolerance, I pledge to take a stand against hate, injustice and intolerance. I will work in my daily life for justice, equality and human rights - the ideals for which the Civil Rights martyrs died.
Then we went to the Rosa Parks Museum which has many interactive exhibits and learned about the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
