Homecoming 2025

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior!

We are excited to welcome you to the Church of the Incarnation’s Homecoming 2025, as we celebrate our church’s legacy of faith, fellowship, family, and civil rights history. 

Joan Trumpauer Mulholland, a true icon of the civil rights movement, will be the featured speaker at this year’s celebration!  Joan is a legendary civil rights activist whose fearless dedication to justice helped shape the 1960s movement. As a Freedom Rider, she was arrested in Jackson, Mississippi, in 1961 and endured two months in the Maximum-Security Unit of the Mississippi State Penitentiary.  Continuing to break barriers, Joan became the first white woman to pledge and be initiated into Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., while attending Tougaloo College, a historically Black institution. Her remarkable journey is chronicled in her book, “She Stood for Freedom” – The Untold Story of a Civil Rights Hero.

The Homecoming Celebration will also feature a panel discussion with Andrea Young (Executive Director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Georgia and daughter of former Atlanta mayor and civil rights leader Andrew Young) and Cheryl Lowery (President of The Joseph & Evelyn Lowery Institute for Justice & Human Rights).

Join us for this momentous occasion as we honor the rich history of our church and the individuals who have shaped the ongoing fight for civil rights.  We look forward to welcoming you to this special event and celebrating the enduring spirit of faith, family, and justice that defines the Church of the Incarnation.

Together, let us continue to stand for faith, fellowship, and freedom.

Many Blessings,

Harriet Batson and Dawne Goldsboro, Homecoming Co-Chairs
