Commemorating the 40th Anniversary of the Poor People's Campaign
About Us
The Poverty Initiative is dedicated to raising up generations of religious and community leaders committed to building a movement, led by the poor, to end poverty. We are based at Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York.
About the trip
This immersion course will explore the reality of poverty in Tennessee and the Mississippi Delta, offering tools for overcoming and eliminating poverty. Commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Poor People’s Campaign launched by Martin Luther King Jr. in December 1967, we will travel to Marks, Mississippi, where the campaign began, other towns and cities in Mississippi, as well as Tennessee and Alabama to learn from community and religious leaders involved in a growing movement to end poverty. Experience will include poverty reality tours, Bible studies, video-showings, and dialogue with leaders of local and national poor people’s organizations and religious congregations engaged in mission work and community organizing.
