This pilgrimage towards racial justice is shaped by four chapters exploring the history and lessons from:

1. The U.S. Civil Rights movement - explores the history, significance and ongoing implications of the civil rights struggle in the United States.
   
2. South Africa and its struggle against apartheid - focuses on the social constructs created around race and how they so thoroughly defined, and continue to define, South African society.
   
3. The Underground Railroad emancipatory trail in the U.S.
   
4. West Africa and the font of the slave trade
   

Each chapter of this pilgrimage will push and challenge pilgrims to

• better understand the history of racial injustice;
• understand the challenges and inequality that such history has created in our social structures and systems, and
• explore ways in which we can confront these realities so as to work towards a just peace where everyone, especially our siblings of color, can experience equality, equity and dignity.
