On August 20, 1998, the Interfaith Pilgrimage 🚶🏾‍♂️🌍 stopped through Charlotte 🏙️ as part of their journey from Boston 🛕 to West Africa 🌍✈️. The Pilgrims re-traced the Middle Passage slave trade routes ⚓⛵ as they prayed for racial healing and atonement for the past institution of Slavery in the United States 🇺🇸, South America 🌎, and Europe 🌍. While in Charlotte 🏙️, the Pilgrims took a customized Black Heritage Tour™ 🚌✊🏾 of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. Among the sites visited by the Pilgrims were a former Slave church ⛪ and three existing Slave cemeteries ⚰️🕯️. Each year, Queen City Tours^sm and Travel 🚌✨ invites you to experience the re-creation of this special Charlotte Black Heritage Tour™ and Pilgrimage 🕊️✊🏾 as individuals during the months of February – Black History Month 🖤📚, and June – Juneteenth 🎉✊🏾.

This event supports the Pilgrimage Scholarship 🎓 established in 2008 in honor of the late Pastor Jeff Lowrance ✝️ of Hopewell Presbyterian Church and Civil Rights Hero Dr. Reginald Armistice Hawkins ✊🏾. Each year, a college student 🎓 studying or preparing to study African-American history is awarded this scholarship and must maintain at least a 3.0 GPA 📘. In addition, seats are donated by individuals, organizations, and companies 🤝 that realize the importance of our underprivileged youth learning their history rather than becoming part of negative history 📚❤️.

If you cannot attend, you can purchase a digital copy of our Annual Pilgrimage Tour 💾 which is now available via download. You can also purchase a seat for underprivileged youth 🧒🏾👧🏽 and donate your seat(s).
