Hello everyone,
My name is Jake Ferruzzi and I am one of the planners for
this year’s Civil Rights Pilgrimage. I did not go on the trip last year, but Alex
told me about the planning opportunity and I was very excited to help plan this
year’s trip. I am from Lake Zurich, Illinois and I am a sophomore majoring in
African American Studies, Political Science, and History.
I am very passionate about civil rights and about all
different social justice issues. This trip is very important because I firmly
believe that we owe it to ourselves and to the people who went through the
constant struggles to visit and learn about their experiences. The most
exciting thing for me about this trip is visiting the Stax Museum. I am very
interested in music, and play the piano myself. I love listening to musicians
such as Otis Redding and am really looking forward to being able to see where
artists like him recorded. Another place I am looking forward to visiting is
the Southern Poverty Law Center, because I am a prelaw student and would love
to work with civil rights law in the future. I cannot wait to meet you all at
the meeting on Sunday!
See you soon,
Jake
