Civil Rights Tour
The Carter G. Woodson Center for Interracial Education and the College pay for faculty and staff to participate, and even allows partners and spouses to attend space permitting. It also sponsors similar experiences for students.
The Civil Rights Tour includes a week of travel to various locations associated with the Civil Rights movement, including stops in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Along the way, participants toured Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birth home, attended church service at Faith Chapel in Birmingham, and visited Civil Rights institutes and museums in Birmingham, Montgomery, Selma, and Jackson. The tour also featured a special stop at the Edmund Pettus Bridge, the site of the Selma to Montgomery Marches.
