Fall Pilgrimage to the Wallace Center for Arts & Reconciliation

Date: Wednesday, October 15 (during the day) 
Location: Wallace Center for Arts & Reconciliation, Harpersville, Alabama 
Cost: $40 – includes lunch and Salaam Green’s The Other Revival: Poems & Reckonings.   

Join us as we embark on a meaningful pilgrimage to the Wallace Center for Arts & Reconciliation—a place born out of healing, remembrance, and transformation. Once a plantation built in 1841, the Wallace Center has been reborn into a space where art, history, and community converge to foster reconciliation and repair. Through exhibitions, community storytelling, and creative collaborations, this center invites us into deeply human conversations that honor memory, acknowledge pain, and imagine wholeness.  

We are especially honored to be joined by Salaam Green, Birmingham’s inaugural Poet Laureate, who will read from her newly released collection, The Other Revival: Poems & Reckonings. This powerful book—rooted in the soil of the Wallace House in Harpersville—unearths histories of the land, amplifies stories of descendants from both Black and white lineages, and reclaims the tradition of Southern revivals as spaces of truth-telling, healing, and spiritual renewal.  

On October 15, we will depart from Saint Stephen’s at 9:30am and return by 2:30pm.  You can learn more about the Wallace Center here. 

We have room to take 18 people.   You can sign up here.
