Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom visits Selma2 Published 10:32 pm Thursday, April 26, 2018 By Adam Dodson | The Selma Times-Journal A Muslim and Jewish women’s group, known as the Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom, visited Selma on Tuesday for a tour of the city and to look for guidance of how to peacefully protest the marginalization of their identities. A city known as a catalyst for the voting rights movement, Selma is frequented by people from out of town who want to pay their respects to those who stood up for what they believe in. 1 https://www.thoughtco.com/how-to-write-a-news-article-1857250 2 https://www.selmatimesjournal.com/2018/04/26/sisterhood-of-salaam-shalom-visits-selma/ The stop in Selma is part of their tour of the south, visiting other civil rights locations in Atlanta, Memphis, Montgomery and Birmingham as well.

  • The 2013 MCHR Freedom Tour
    “Freedom has always been an expensive thing. History is fit testimony to the fact that freedom is rarely gained without sacrifice and self-denial.” The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The 2013 MCHR Freedom Tour On June 16, 2013, the Michigan Coalition for Human Rights’ 2013 Freedom Tour commenced its two week journey into the southern states of our nation with a diverse group of high school students to learn about the price that people in our country paid for equality. The tour was dedicated in loving memory of one of MCHR’s founders, Bishop H. Coleman McGehee, Jr. The students were selected after submitting essays about why they wanted to go on the trip and being personally interviewed by the adult mentors. Ultimately, there were 34 students and 13 adult mentors selected to go on the trip. The students came primarily from Detroit area high schools ( Mercy, U of D, Cass Tech, Dakota, Renaissance, Cody, Southfield Lathrup, Ferndale, Cesar Chavez, Chandler Park, Redford Union, Loyola, Grosse Pointe North, Detroit Aerospace, Spain Middle School, home schooled). We also had 6 students on the tour from the Suttons Bay/Traverse City area. The students ranged in age from 14 to 18. The mentors included teachers, a nurse, civil rights attorneys, and social activists. Organizational and fundraising efforts for the tour started approximately a year beforehand. MCHR raised over $100,000 through its Annual Dinner and Freedom Tour fundraising efforts and, as a result, was able to fund the tour 100% without placing a financial strain on the organization. The adult mentors provided educational programming about the civil rights movement along with Nonviolence training to the students in the months leading up to the tour.

  • The Shared Dreams Journey - My Reflections Written by Regina Taylor February 26, 2017
    The Shared Dreams Journey - My Reflections Written by Regina Taylor February 26, 2017 I would first like to thank God for his continued grace and mercy in my life. I want to thank my pastor, Pastor Trollinger; Rabbi Shira; Captain Abbe and the entire Congregation Kol Ami for what was a life-changing experience for myself and my daughter, Brooke. We were blessed to be included in an interfaith civil rights journey with people of the Jewish faith. We sojourned from Birmingham, Alabama to Montgomery to Selma and then onto Atlanta, Georgia. I want to share with you some of the memories from my journey. As I walked downstairs to the basement of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, I passed a painting of four little girls beautiful, smiling and representing every shade of our exquisite rainbow of complexions. Downstairs a bit further and a feeling of sadness began to overwhelm me. “September 15, 1963”, the tour guide, Barry McNealy said, “here is where they were found… hours after the blast. They were near the women’s lounge. It happened between Sunday school and morning worship service.” I wondered if they were happily playing in their church basement or having breakfast like Calvary’s children so often do at that time. But the thought that would not escape me is… they were in church…. a sacred place where all are welcome to worship and share in the goodness of the Lord, a place which welcomes all people through its doors. Four innocent babies were murdered. Their lives taken in a calculated act of terrorism.
