Studying #TeamAmerica

As a frequent ove-seas traveler, this 12 months has marked my immersion into nationwide U.S. journey. How higher to have fun the a hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the American Civil Conflict than by exploring the landmarks myself?

I used to be sponsored by Nation Inn & Suites to choose locations within the U.S. to gallivant in, and stayed with them at their cozy resort. Feeling patriotic, I opted for horseback using, cider tasting, and sunsets over the 1863 battlefield of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

Take a look at my picture diary on the finish of this put up 🙂

Should you’re a bit behind in your U.S. historical past, the 1860s American Civil Conflict rooted to the legislative debate on slavery.

Sure, folks purchased and offered folks as a commodity.

4 years and 600,000 casualties later, slavery was (legislatively) abolished in the USA.

It’s simple to neglect the true significance of our present freedom whereas enjoying flip cup at Lake Tahoe and ingesting Fourth of July cocktails below fireworks in Newport Seaside.

With all of my worldwide journey, I’ve grown a comfortable spot for appreciating my very own nation…

I used to be so excited to proudly share pictures celebrating how far we’ve come.

A visible reminder to cheer, “hey, look us, we’ve revolutionized America!”

Slavery is not authorized.

Girls can vote.

We are able to drink out of the identical water fountain, no matter race.

Caitlyn Jenner is on the quilt of Self-importance Honest.

We’re taking over equality, one challenge at a time.

Nevertheless, only a week after my Pennsylvania hikes and “God Bless America” hurrays, a hate crime came about in Charleston, South Carolina.

In a tragic act of home terrorism, a younger white American murdered 9 black Individuals at a church important to U.S. Civil Rights historical past.

It’s devastating. Relaxation in Peace Cynthia Marie Graham Hurd, Susie Jackson, Ethel Lee Lance, Depayne Middleton-Physician, Pastor and South Carolina State Senator Clementa C. Pinckney, Tywanza Sanders, Pastor Daniel Simmons, Pastor Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, and Myra Thompson.

Look how far we’ve come, however how far we have now to go.

My celebration got here up brief. I like Gettysburg, I beloved my latest journey to the South roadtripping by Atlanta, Cookeville, and Nashville.

Nevertheless, nationally, we have now lengthy strides to tackle the trail in direction of equality.

I do know what you’re pondering, “However Steph, I’m not racist. There isn’t any prejudice in my family.”

“I’m not the one killing folks, and that’s one thing we can’t management.”

You’re proper.

I’ve mentioned it as soon as, however I’ll say it once more:

It’s the people, not complete societies of a vacation spot, nationality, or group that infiltrate hate.

Nevertheless, it’s our duty to share kindness and train inclusivity past authorities infrastructure.

Training, cross-culture experiences, and journey in itself are essential to cultivating our society and our world.

So strive to hang around with somebody totally different. Take a look at someplace that’s outdoors of your typical trip vacation spot. Attempt one thing new.

You’d be shocked, there’s a lot extra to each individual, each group of individuals, and each place than you’d anticipate.

Like Larger Gettysburg! Take a look at these pictures that transcend the battle.
