A MESSAGE FROM KATHY
June 2008

Dear Friend,

From Atlanta to Washington, D.C. to Boston to Martha’s Vineyard — as I’ve traveled up and down the Eastern United States spreading the gospel about educational travel and lifelong learning, I’ve received the same enthusiastic response from just about every person I’ve met: “Thank you!”

“Thank you for creating learning and travel opportunities for an African-American audience.”

As you know, there is a new generation of travelers out there. They are people who want more than ordinary tourist experiences — more than just sunning on a beach, shopping and snapping pictures from inside a tour bus. They want authenticity. They want travel to be a rewarding, enriching experience.

For this new generation of travelers, we created Road Scholar.

Road Scholar offers a range of adventures, with many devoted to the black experience. Whether you want to follow in the footsteps of Josephine Baker in Paris, participate in Trinidad’s Carnival or discover the literary heritage of Richard Wright in Natchez — there’s a Road Scholar program for you.

I encourage you to look through our newest collection of remarkable adventures in Global Discoveries. And browse through our web pages to find savvy travel tips and much more.

If you have ideas for new programs or ways to spread the word about Road Scholar, I’d love to hear from you. Just click here and send me an email.

Thank you for your interest in our new initiative.

With warm regards,


Associate Vice President, Road Scholar




What people are saying:

“This was my first Road Scholar program, and I give it nothing but the highest marks. The group was full of smart, adventurous and fun people, and I feel like we got to experience Carnival and Trinidad in their most authentic light.”

— Karen M., Detroit, Mich. on Carnival in Trinidad: The Soul of a Nation
