It took me back to the origins of Journey to Justice that started with Carrie Supple\u2019s trip to the museum in Little Rock, Arkansas that ignited the spark for the idea that became Journey to Justice and especially the travelling exhibition. It was all about being inspired by the US Civil Rights Movement and finding UK equivalent stories. And there we were on the morning of the 19th, doing just that! Sharing our stories with our US counterparts.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tamla also reflected, \u2018The other bit of synchrony was that Bowie State University was started by a committee that was made up of Quakers. It aligned with Quaker values and was funded by Quaker money. And of course, we delivered the workshop at Quaker HQ in UK. This was no coincidence though; the connection wasn’t lost on me when I made the suggestion in January to facilitate the workshop there.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friends House was indeed an ideal venue with its central location, its values and its past partnership and generosity towards Journey to Justice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Journey to Justice greatly looks forward to possible future partnerships with Bowie State University.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Journey to Justice was approached by Bowie State University last year and asked if we might provide activities linked to social justice for a group of students visiting the UK during their Spring break 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8622,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8620"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8620"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8620\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8644,"href":"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8620\/revisions\/8644"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8622"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journeytojustice.org.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
