History in the Making: GirlTREK Purchases the Black Bricklayers Hall in Montgomery, AL

On August 8, 2023, GirlTREK signed the deed on the Black Bricklayers Hall, the former home of Dr. Martin Luther King’s office and the headquarters of the Montgomery Bus Boycott which was the catalyst that ignited the Civil Rights Movement. This purchase is a win for the culture. And now a million Black women own this historic landmark. GirlTREK is walking in the footsteps of our foremothers and continuing the civil rights legacy that started in this city. The next phase of GirlTREK’s history-making work to save Black women’s lives starts here in Montgomery. ------------ About GirlTREK: There is a health crisis in America and Black women and girls are among the hardest hit. Every day 137 Black women die from heart disease. This is more than gun violence, HIV/AIDS, and smoking combined. And the effects of chronic stress are wearing on Black women mentally, physically, and spiritually. Black women die younger and at higher rates than any other group of women in the country: 82% of Black women are currently overweight, and 53% are morbidly obese (CDC, 2020). GirlTREK is a solution. With 1.2 Million active members and counting, GirlTrek, which has been featured on CNN, The New York Times, Essence Magazine, and many other national publications, encourages Black women and girls to use walking as the first practical step to leading healthier, more fulfilled lives.
