Civil Rights

Take your students on a journey through the history of the Civil Rights Movement with a field trip designed to educate, inspire, and empower. These trips offer a profound opportunity to connect with the pivotal moments and courageous individuals who shaped the fight for equality and justice in America.

In Selma, students can walk across the historic Edmund Pettus Bridge, the site of the 1965 "Bloody Sunday" march, and visit the National Voting Rights Museum, which highlights the struggle for voting equality. The Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church, a key organizing site for the Selma marches, provides a glimpse into the role of faith in the movement.

Montgomery offers a wealth of civil rights history, including the Rosa Parks Museum, where students can learn about the Montgomery Bus Boycott and Rosa Parks’ pivotal role. The Civil Rights Memorial Center honors those who lost their lives in the struggle for justice, while the Legacy Museum and Memorial provide a powerful narrative connecting slavery, segregation, and mass incarceration.

At the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site, students can explore the inspiring story of the first African American military pilots and their groundbreaking contributions to aviation and equality during World War II.

In Birmingham, the Civil Rights Institute presents compelling exhibits that explore the city's central role in the Civil Rights Movement, including the stories of the Freedom Riders and the tragic 16th Street Baptist Church bombing.

Atlanta serves as another cornerstone of civil rights history. The National Center for Civil and Human Rights showcases the global impact of the movement, with interactive exhibits that connect the past to ongoing struggles for justice. The Breman Museum adds depth with its focus on Jewish culture and history, drawing parallels between civil rights and the fight against antisemitism.

These trips are more than a history lesson—they’re an opportunity to inspire dialogue, empathy, and action. With professional planning and customizable itineraries, your group will leave inspired and informed.
