Join the Classis Grand Rapids East Racial Justice team on September 23, 2023 for a Black History Tour of Detroit. While this is a bus trip, there will be some walking through museums and in and out of locations. See basic itinerary below:
- Leave Grand Rapids at 7:30 am from the parking lot of Calvin CRC. Drive to Detroit
- Visit the Underground Railroad Living Museum (First Congregational Church of Detroit)
- Box lunch at the Underground Railroad Museum (If you have specific dietary needs, we suggest you provide your own lunch)
- Visit the Wright Museum of African American History
- Dinner at an ethnic restaurant in Detroit (to be determined)
- Drive back to Grand Rapids (home by 10:00pm)
*We are asking participants to pay $30 to offset the cost of the bus, admission to museums, lunch, and driver's tip. Scholarships available upon request. Additionally, dinner is not included --plan on $15-$25.
Our bus limit is 54 people. To reserve your spot, checks (addressed to Grand Rapids Classis East) can be mailed to Cindy VanderKodde, 1140 Noble Street SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49507
