The 2018 tour is sponsord by Center for workers Justice
We are taking our 10th Annual Civil Rights HBCU tour.
The annual Civil Rights and HBCU Tour (Historical Black Colleges and Universities) has been a life-changing experience for the youth and adults that attend.
The students and chaperones travel by bus to learn about the Civil Rights movement and visit Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU’s). Students are each given a notebook to take notes in preparation for a paper to be written at the end of the trip. They also post messages on our trip blog. Family, friends, community members, people across the country and local newspapers have followed their posts in previous years. At the end of many days during the tour, we all gather and share reflections on our experiences that day.
Memorable experiences included visiting: Slave Haven, the Lorraine Hotel and National Civil Rights Museum and the Stax Museum in Memphis; the 16th Street Baptist Church, Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, and the Birmingham Police and Fire Departments in Birmingham; walking over the Edmund Pettus bridge outside of Selma; the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, and the Martin Luther King Museum in Atlanta. We also visited Tuskegee College, Alabama State University, Clark College, Morehouse College, Spellman College and Georgia State University
This tour has been reconized by the State of Iowa as the only Civil Rights & HBCU tour combined 2015
African American Museum History makers 2014
We will be doing a documentary of the tour in 2018
Tour dates: June 16-24 2018
