I read a lot of articles and books on the marches that
were involved in the Civil Rights moment this semester for classes. It stuck out to me, after learning what I did
in this class, that for some people these marches were very much a spiritual
journey. Not as much in the sense of
travel but in the sense of life changing events. There was a form of communitas while on these
marches between the marchers because they were all there for the same purpose
no matter whom they were. Communitas
being an important part of journey is a key sign that it was spiritual. I would have never really thought of the marches
as being like that but when you see images and read stories from the people
involved it really stands out that they were much more than meets the eye.
