About the Pilgrimage
Pilgrims walking along the Mississippi Gulf Coast
The Interfaith Pilgrimage of the Middle Passage: Retracing the Journey of Slavery, was a year-long walking Pilgrimage to retrace the route and history/herstory of the Atlantic Slave Trade in reverse, from the United States through the Caribbean to South America and West Africa. The Pilgrimage revisited the history of the enslavement of African peoples and its legacy: racism. Through walking in prayer and meditation, visiting sites of significance to the slavery history, performing sacred ceremonies, and gathering with communities, the Pilgrimage transformed the energy that surrounds this legacy.
The Interfaith Pilgrimage of the Middle Passage took place May 1998 – June 1999. Pilgrims traveled to more than 15 countries on 3 continents.

Thanks for remembering our ancestors, the ones who jumped overboard, were murdered outright, died of diseases, and human misery, and lived and grew strong, and prospered. Thank you for your service of hard work, camaraderie and love. Blessings and prayers.
