"Sojourn to the Past" with EPAA
"When I first heard about this program, I knew that I had
to sign up. The Civil Rights Movement is an important event in American History that has shaped our modern society, but it is also a subject that is usually not told in detail in our textbooks or may be biased. To have the opportunity to actually visit the sites where this historical event took place and meet people who were involved in the Civil Rights Movement is a unique opportunity that I definitely do not want to miss!"-Blanca Diaz, Junior
"The main reason I want to go on this journey is because I have been waiting for this trip since I was a freshman. I have wanted to visit these places. I want to talk to people and imagine how they lived and how they got through their struggles."-Arcelia Zamora, Junior
"I want to go to Sojourn to the Past trip because is a good opportunity to visit other places, and learn in the actual place that happened what we're learning in class, and not imagine anymore where it was, but have a clear vision of it."- Rosamia Morales, Junior
"I want to
educate myself more on the Civil Rights Movement because I don't know much
about it but I think it is important because I can relate to the struggle of
fighting for my rights as an undocumented student. I think to myself, if the
people of the Civil Rights Movement did it, then they are a model of what could
be accomplished."
