Event: The Sacred Journey
The Sacred Journey is an annual event that marks the anniversary of the Commemorative to Enslaved Peoples of Southern Maryland’s dedication. It takes place every November, each time embracing a unique new theme. As is stated on the website:
The Sacred Journey is held on the first Friday of November and celebrates the dedication of the Commemorative to Enslaved Peoples of Southern Maryland. We honor the legacy of the enslaved, giving presence to absence, through three distinct elements: Honoring the Commemorative, the Procession of Dignity, and the Waterfront Ceremony.
Popularized by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., the Beloved Community symbolizes our vision for the future, in which racism and bigotry are replaced by an all-inclusive spirit of community.
