| What is it?
With the Unitarian Universalist Association’s General Assembly in
Phoenix AZ in 2012 being a special “Justice GA,” the Metro NY
District Board of Trustees began to collect funds to see as many
youth and young adults as possible participate. We would like to
continue to support youth and young adults to attend future General
Assemblies and the Living Legacy Pilgrimage. |

| What is
the Living Legacy Pilgrimage?
The Living
Legacy Pilgrimage is a journey to meet the people, hear the
stories, and visit the sites that changed the world. The Pilgrimage
is much more than a civil rights history tour. In addition to
visiting historic sites, we meet veterans, many of them unsung
heroes and foot soldiers of the civil rights movement. Additionally,
we spend time exploring what today’s racism, white privilege, and
barriers to equality look like in the Southern towns we visit -- and
in our own hometowns. As a spiritual pilgrimage, we reflect on what
we experience together so when we each return home we can apply what
we have learned to make a difference in today's world. |

| Without the
grant I received, I would have not been able to go
to GA. GA was an experience that had a profound
impact on my life and I hope other youth are able to
experience GA in the future. -- Jamie McKaie |
