Alabama Civil Rights Tour

Your students could spend a lifetime in
Alabama studying the Civil Rights

Movement; however, in this 2 or 3 day trip,
they are sure to experience enough of the

historic time period to deepen their
understanding of both the Civil Rights

Movement, as well as the bigger fight for
the fundamental rights of all human

beings. This trip begins in Montgomery
and your students will get to bear witness

to many of the most important sites of the

time period. A quick stop in Selma will
allow your students to see, firsthand, two

iconic locations, including the site of
"Bloody Sunday". Day two engulfs your

students in Birmingham's role in the fight
for Civil, and human, rights. This is a very

fast moving, tightly packed trip; however,
because of the amount of history packed

in, we think every stop is essential!
