SOJ-3012: Civil Rights Tour

Join a bus tour of key civil rights movement sites in the South on a tour led by well-known civil rights leader Dr. Bernard LaFayette. We will be meeting with 1960s civil rights activists who will tell their stories, visiting civil rights museums and other public history sites, and participating while on the bus in a “rolling seminar” on civil rights history, nonviolence, and the meaning and uses of nonviolence today, including stories of recent nonviolence work in Ferguson, Missouri, Nigeria, and elsewhere around the world. 2019 tour highlights include visits to the Martin Luther King Center and Museum in Atlanta; an exploration of the movement in Birmingham, Alabama; the bus boycott movement in Montgomery, Alabama; the voting rights campaign in Selma, Alabama; and the Freedom Rides, as well as a visit to Tuskegee Institute in Alabama.
