The Blue Wave Coalition and Women's March St. Johns invite you to a private Civil Rights Walking Tour in St. Augustine, led by the indomitable Miss Bernadette!

Did you know that events in St. Augustine were instrumental in leading to passage of the Civil Rights Act? And that in many ways, the ugly legacy of racism lingers yet today in that city?  Help us increase awareness of this history and show our friendship to our African American neighbors in that community. Come walk with us and explore several stops where you will hear stories and see the places where great leaders stood up for dignity, equality and human rights. Learn about the Freedom Fighters who risked their lives here in the pursuit of freedom for all people. You will see history come alive as you follow in the footsteps of Civil Rights leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King and Andrew Young. Wear your walking shoes and hats, bring your tickets, and meet us at 4 Granada Street, St. Augustine, FL a few minutes before 1:00 PM.  Please sign up here by clicking here, as slots are limited!

Next meeting is April 18.
