Robert Moses is a civil rights hero. The chronicler of the civil rights era during the King years, Taylor Branch, says that Moses was a self-effacing, observant and sensitive leader. He told one newspaper, “"To this day he is a startling paradox. I think his influence is almost on par with Martin Luther King, and yet he's almost totally unknown He is not unknown to generations of students who have benefited from Moses’ belief in the power of math to open doors to opportunity. His Macarthur Genius award testifies to the belief people have in Robert Moses’ approach to civil rights in a time when education holds the key to challenging oppression and prejudice. He continues to work through his national non-profit, “The Algebra Project,” using mathematics as an organizing tool to pursue quality public school education for every child in America. Robert Moses was in Seattle as a guest of Washington Stem and Project Pilgrimage. He spoke about his own work within the context of American history and his current path to a small group of Project Pilgrimage alums in late November 2017. Project Pilgrimage’s Sharayah Lane, along with freelance journalist Steve Scher, led the discussion.…

The William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation brings people together to talk. It may sound simple, but finding the right words to bridge the deep, old divide of bigotry and prejudice in the U.S. is hard work.

Griot's carry the history across regions and eras Sometimes folks will ask, what is the value of these trips? At their core, these trips are about knowing and reclaiming history. As community member Andy Reynolds tells UW student Davon White, history is very powerful and often very personal. Andy Reynolds. photo by Troy Bonnes At the Equal Justice Institute, history is being reclaimed. From the 1870's through the 1940's more than 4000 people were lynched across the south . EJI calls this an era of racial terrorism . To remember this era and honor those murdered, EJI has launched a project to collect soil from every location where a person was lynched. Our group took part. We filled a glass jar with dirt from the place where Jim Meriwether, an organizer for the Sharecroppers Union , was murdered in the mid-thirties. HIs wife was raped and hung, but she did not die and later traveled to Washington D.C. to testify about the crime. No one was ever brought to justice. Digging into that earth was a profound moment. The earth was hard. We were silent. The small spades scrapped the soil. The site was next to an old graveyard. Beyond the headstones, rolling hills, dotted with farmhouses, cows and sheep in the fields. Davon White photo by Troy Bonnes UW student Davon White could feel the past collide with the present. White talks with Reynolds about the line linking Meriwether's lynching to the killings of James Byrd, Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown today. Sharecroppers meeting in Alabama By the way, if you are interested in the history of sharecroppers trying to organize in the South, there is no better place to start than with UW Tacoma Professor Michael Honey's Book, "Sharecropper's Troubadour: John L.

We've got Mississippi on our minds. We traveled to Money, Mississippi, where we stood outside the decaying building that once housed a grocery infamous in American history. In August, 1955, Emmett Till was a 14 year old boy from Chicago visiting relatives in Money, a small town in the Mississippi Delta. He may have spoken to 21 year old Carole Bryant, the white, married proprietor of the store. If so, that simple act was his death sentence. Three nights later, Roy Bryant, Carole's husband, and his half brother J.W. Milam, abducted Till. They beat him, mutilated him, shot him and threw his body in the Tallahatchie river. His bloated corpse was found three days later. Mamie Till-Mobley, Till's mother, held a public funeral in Chicago. His body was displayed in an open casket. The event exposed American racism to the world. In September 1955, Bryant and Milam were acquitted of Till's kidnapping and murder. Protected from being tried again, they admitted to Look Magazine that they had killed Till. Their justification was that they thought young man had whistled at Carole Bryant. The crime became a symbol of the failure of the justice system and the murderous terror of white supremacy. Across the country today, the murder of Emmett Till still resonates, one of many crimes, past and present, that can still instill fear and anger. It brought UW student Davon White and community member Calvin Lyons into conversation. The family involved in the crime is letting the building fall apart, but the memory of that awful crime taints the region. We traveled on to nearby Sumner where the Till murderers were acquitted by all an white jury. The courthouse has been renovated, according to the Emmet Till Commission , to serve as an interpretive site marking the crime and efforts at reconciliation . We also visited the small town of Glendora, where the Mayor has built a museum to the crime, The Emmett Till Historic Intrepid Center. He calls his tour "The Till Trail of Terror." The small museum recreates the era and the crime. In Sumner, the Emmett Till Interpretive Cente r is trying to offer a space for reconciliation. But the truth has to be acknowledged before any reconciliation can take place and according to Patrick Weems who directs the center and Glendora Mayor Johnny B.Thomas, many people in the region do not want to deal with truth of their past. The murderers were never brought to justice. They both died of cancer. In 2004 the Justice Department reopened the case . It was acting on information that people still living were implicated. In 2007, a grand jury declined to seek any indictments .…

Anthony Ray Hinton was freed after spending 30 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. The Equal Justice Initiative, based in Montgomery Alabama, helped secure Hinton's release. He has come out without bitterness, without anger. Community member and Pilgrimage musician Mark Pearson reflects with community member Jeanine Blue Lupton about HInton's conscious rejection of hatred for the people who deliberately imprisoned him. The Equal Justice Initiative was formed to change the American prison system. Hinton is one of more than 156 people exonerated or released from death row in the U.S. since 1973. Jeanine was struck by a different moment from our trip. White privilege is a term many white people don't quite get. But during a discussion of whether our diverse group should go to a Trump rally, that concept became clear to many on the bus. Music is by Mark Pearson, Songman .…

Martha Hawkins serves soul food at Martha's Place in Montgomery, Alabama. Born poor in a Jim Crow State, Hawkins is now a successful restaurateur and speake r. She uses her story to try and inspire people to stretch their sense of their own worth. “We are eating Southern soul food. We are eating sweet potatoes. We have some sweet corn, lima beans and black-eyed peas. Carlton McDaniel is going through the buffet line at Martha’s Place, a nationally recognized Soul Food restaurant in Montgomery Alabama. “And on the other end we have dressing turkey and fried chicken” McDaniel is driving the bus for a group hailing from Puget Sound and Logan, Utah. They are traveling through the south on a civil rights pilgrimage. They have stopped at Martha’s Place to eat good food and to hear from owner Martha Hawkins. “I like to welcome you the Martha’s Place. It is not every day you get a chance, an opportunity to live out your dream. When I started my restaurant I was on welfare. But what I realized that it doesn’t really matter where you come from. What matters is where you want to go in this life. “ Hawkins had 11 siblings growing up in Montgomery. Her family was poor, but she says her mother would cook wonderful meals from their vegetable garden. She learned from her and dreamed of opening her own restaurant. Eviction, bad relationships, ruptured appendix, the loss of a kidney, severe mental illness and attempted suicide brought her low. She writes in her book, “Martha’s Place,” once you hit bottom, there is nowhere to go but up. “I used to look in the mirror and hated who I was. But after awhile when I realized I found out, hey, girl you alright, you ain’t so bad. Cause I had to learn to love me.” Hawkins was broke and living in a housing project when against all odds, she had the chance to open her restaurant in 1988. “Owning a restaurant, never cooked in a restaurant before in my life, on welfare, been in a mental institution, now here I was talking about owning a restaurant, they thought sure enough I had lost it. So I start tearing down wallpaper, I start painting; I went to rent a buffer, buff all my floors. I went to the yard sales. If I clean up somebody’s house, If I backed a cake or pie, I put it right back in the restaurant. Cause you see it was my dream, my vision. To the young generation I want you to know that hey, the sky’s the limit. The only limitation you have is what you place on yourself. “ Martha Hawkins is speaking to group of people that don’t often come together in America. These people, black and white and brown, gay, straight, rich and poor are on a Civil Rights Pilgrimage sponsored by the University of Washington, Bellevue College and Utah State University. One goal for the people on the trip is to connect the struggles of the civil rights era to today’s struggles for equal justice. Martha Hawkins makes that connection every time she makes a dish. She was inspired by Georgia Gilmore, a midwife and cook, who helped fund the Montgomery Bus Boycott in the 1950’s by organizing women to sell their baked pies and chicken dinners to boycotters at churches, Laundromats and beauty parlors. Gilmore served meals in her home. “Dr. King used to go to her house to eat. And everybody that came to town, Robert Kennedy, all of them, they came to town they went to her house. So she had a restaurant and it was in her house. So that’s why I wanted a restaurant in my house cause you would always read about the people that came to her place and everything so. It’s my house now. It is. I’m enjoying it.” Martha Hawkins is a successful restaurateur and speaker. In 2004, she received the Ruth Fertel Keeper of the Flame Award for own success and her work with Martha Hawkins Ministries, helping single parents and low-income children. Her book, “Finding Martha’s Place: My Journey Through Sin, Salvation and Lots of Soul Food,” comes with recipes for catfish, fried green tomatoes and the other dishes that still connect her to her community. Like green lima beans. “When you cook them, they are hard. Once you start cooking them, there’s so much juice. Fried Chicken, strong stable food and it is just southern, like I am. And I like the collards, cause it’s something you add to it to give it that extra…you know” You can sample that something extra for yourself the next time you are in Montgomery Alabama. You can find the restaurant online at Marthasplacebuffet.com. The next 8 day Civil Rights Pilgrimage gets underway February 27th, 2016 Follow the journey.
