Local students who are apart of
the "Sojourn to the Past" are
raising money for
an opportunity to go on a
historical trip.
The students sold spaghetti
plates at the Richard Brown
United Methodist Church in
Youngstown. The trip is at the
end of the month -- it gives
students an opportunity to see
historical landmarks, and learn
the history
of slavery, segregation, and
racism in the south.
The group will fly to Atlanta,
then to Selma and Birmingham,
Alabama.
After that, to Little Rock and
Memphis. The fundraiser.. taught
students an important
life lesson. [A22]20190303 PASTA

LETS US ALL KNOW THAT WE NEED
TO PAVE OUR OWN WAY IN LIFE WE
NEED TO WE DON'T JUST WANT
HANDOUTS
WE WANT TO BE ACTUALLY HANDS ON
IN MAKING OUR WAY...SO IT'S
MAKING THE SOJOURN TRIP I THINK
MORE VALUABLE TO THEM
BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY HAD A
PART IN RAISING THE MONEY TO
GO."
Each student had to raise at
least $600 dollars to be able
to go on the Sojourn trip.
