Utah Stateman - Two students embark on nine-day civil rights pilgrimage
February 25, 2016
Utah State University students Lauren Mata and Juan Jarlin de Leon couldn’t be there to support Rosa Parks when she refused to relinquish her bus seat because of her race.
They weren’t around to participate in the subsequent bus boycotts, to fight for the Little Rock Nine to attend Central High School or to hear Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream for a better future.
Beginning Feb. 27, however, they will embark on a pilgrimage that will take them to all those sites and more. Mata and de Leon, along with 50 other students from the University of Washington and Bellevue College, will spend nine days in the Deep South visiting historic locations from the civil rights movement.

Their target, Montgomery, Alabama, was a 54-mile walk from Selma, a city carefully selected because the route required marching into some of the darkest corners of the South, where a person could be gunned down in broad daylight for encouraging another to exercise his most basic of freedoms — the right to vote.
