Go for a long bike ride or walk together.
Say:
About 50 years ago, people in Alabama took a long walk. They were walking because people treated them unfairly because of the color of their skin. Wonder:
I wonder what it was like to walk so far like they did on the way from Selma to Montgomery. I wonder what they saw.
Ask:
What do you see? What do you hear? What do you notice? (Allow them the freedom to answer.)
Pray:
Pray for healing for those who have hurt others because they are different. Pray for healing for those who have been hurt. Invite your children to offer their own prayer.
Alternate: If the weather is bad, take a virtual Civil Rights Tour using the interactive map at www.civilrightstrail.com. Ask wondering questions and allow your child to ask questions. End with the same prayer.
