Civil Rights Trail – Chapter Seven: Final Thoughts

About this episode

The episode concludes a series reflecting on a Civil Rights Trail RV road trip, highlighting the challenges and revelations encountered along the way.

This seven-chapter series about our 9-month Civil Rights Trail RV road trip – an official NPS trail launched in 2017 with more than 100 sites of interest in several dozen locations across the United States – has come to an end. Until our Civil Rights Trail Series began, our subscriber numbers always increased with every post. The big shocker is hundreds of followers canceled their Living in Beauty subscription during this series! Perplexing? Yes. Humbling? Yes. Fortunately, you are still here and we value your interest in our journey all the more. We encountered disturbing revelations and uncomfortable truths on every RV stop along The Civil Rights Trail. Yet, our faith in America is renewed!
