Student Tours to Alabama, Civil Rights Focus
This journey through living history will take your group to some of the most important sites related to the Civil Rights Movement, including the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, the Edmund Pettus Bridge and National Voting Rights Museum in Selma.
Stop at Dr. Martin Luther King’s home and church, and the Rosa Parks Museum in Montgomery. You will also meet with various people who lived through the Civil Rights Movement and hear their incredible first-hand accounts of life during this dynamic and turbulent time.
Over lunch at St. Matthew’s AME Church in Greensboro, your group will have the privilege of engaging in personal discussions with those who for months were marching, praying, singing, being beaten and arrested during the struggle for voting rights.
In Selma, you’ll be joined by veterans of the Selma to Montgomery March who will share their first-hand stories of struggle, including the first attempt to cross Pettus Bridge which resulted in “Bloody Sunday.”
The unique opportunity to discuss the Civil Rights Movement with those who actually lived it is truly living history at its very best. Our Alabama Civil Rights Movement program can be designed for both middle school and high school groups and will offer all students an incredible, inside look at one of the most influential periods in American history.
