Selma

Alabama and New York – in this together

When three separate groups of women in the Principle Quest community traveled to Alabama last year, we were so warmly welcomed and learned so much. Now we are holding our friends in Montgomery in our thoughts as COVID19 wreaks havoc. We in New York can relate deeply, and wish you courage and good health.

A third group of women traveled with me in November to visit Selma and Montgomery. Their personal reflections are both sobering and inspiring. Our photo above on the last evening in Montgomery includes our guests at dinner, each of whom is a leader and a change agent.

This was my first time to the "deep south". I have traveled to many cities in the US, Asia, Europe, Australia, etc., but I have never been to the deep south in the US.

Principle Quest in Alabama July 2019

Another goup of seven of us are headed to Selma and Montgomery for three days this July to gain invaluable insights from many generous women who have once again offered wonderful introductions and a warm welcome! Our hoped for outcomes are even more ambitious, and we plan to report on this second experience once we return. This list of podcasts, books and articles prepared us for our trip, and here is the report from our April 2019 trip.
