The story of Journey to Justice began in 2012<\/strong>\u00a0when\u00a0<\/strong>Carrie Supple visited the Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site in Arkansas, USA. She heard recordings of African American parents who chose to send their children to a formerly all-white school there in 1957, despite the danger. She was tremendously moved by how they risked their homes, jobs and lives in doing so and she wanted to tell those stories of courage in the UK. She found significant support and in October 2013 Journey to Justice was born, created by people who believe in the power of ‘ordinary people’ to change the world.

People in Liverpool and Bradford talk about: how we need to be inspired, learn from past mistakes, unite, stand up and speak out \u2013 now more than ever and the importance of education about human rights struggles from all over the world.<\/p>\n
