About the event
For over 25 years, the Zen Peacemakers have been annually Bearing Witness at Auschwitz/Birkenau. In this spirit, it has long been our desire to create a bearing witness retreat around America’s racial history – as seen through the eyes of African Americans. The intention has always been to engage without becoming a tourist; to seek unity without ‘othering’ those with whom we Bear Witness.
This year we plan on walking the grounds of a deep history in the expansion of slavery, Jim Crow, and the Civil Rights movement – Selma and Montgomery.
Your support in viewing this film will help fund our Bearing Witness Retreat in Alabama from April 24 - 29th. Thank you,Zen Peacemakers.
