House Minority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) announced on Wednesday that he would be participating in the Congressional Civil Rights pilgrimage, led by Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and organized by the Faith and Politics Institute, in a 3-day journey across Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Montgomery and Selma, Alabama.
“I am proud to participate in this year’s civil rights pilgrimage alongside Congressman John Lewis, who courageously paved the way for a better life for future generations,” said Cantor in a statement. “We have the opportunity to come together and celebrate this powerful moment in history. I look forward to visiting the sites of so many landmark civil rights events and reflecting on the sacrifice that shaped the greater democracy we live in today.”
