A third group of women traveled with me in November to visit Selma and Montgomery. Their personal reflections are both sobering and inspiring. Our photo above on the last evening in Montgomery includes our guests at dinner, each of whom is a leader and a change agent.

From Chris Cheesman

This was my first time to the "deep south". I have traveled to many cities in the US, Asia, Europe, Australia, etc., but I have never been to the deep south in the US.

Innovative education and mentoring programs for women of all ages are at the heart of the mission of the Principle Quest Foundation. This past year three visits to Alabama were transformative for the 15 women who joined me. Our goal was to hear from local women leaders in the non-profit and business world, exchange intellectual capital and understand the economic circumstances.

The impact of our visit to Equal Justice Initiative's Legacy Museum and the Memorial for Peace and Justice was powerful, inspiriing us in many different ways.

Another goup of seven of us are headed to Selma and Montgomery for three days this July to gain invaluable insights from many generous women who have once again offered wonderful introductions and a warm welcome! Our hoped for outcomes are even more ambitious, and we plan to report on this second experience once we return. This list of podcasts, books and articles prepared us for our trip, and here is the report from our April 2019 trip.
