U.S. Civil Rights Trail Travel Guide

The Group Travel Leader is honored to have published the U.S Civil Rights Travel Guide since 2018.

The United States Civil Rights Trail was unveiled in 2018, during the 50th anniversary year of Rev. Martin Luther King’s assassination and the 155th anniversary year of President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation.

The primary focus of the travel planner is to connect the Trail’s most significant sites and destinations, reference life stories, events, people and places along the Trail and generate a demand for unforgettable travel experiences.

The guide is mailed to 14,000 tour operators and group travel planners. In addition, The Group Travel Leader Inc. distributes the marketing piece at all major group travel trade shows including ABA, NTA, Heartland, Domestic Showcase, Select Traveler, Going On Faith, and more. We email the digital edition to over 16,000+ online readers and featured the magazine on both the grouptravelleader.com and civilrightstrail.com websites.

The 2026 edition of the magazine will cover:

  • New Sites on the Trail
  • Signature Museums
  • Footsteps of History
  • Everyday Heroes
  • Houses of Worship
  • SIDEBARS — People Behind the Places
