Civil Rights Movement Electronic Field Trip

Join the first in a series of live, electronic field trips that will challenge today’s students to acquire the necessary skills to examine, confront and overcome contemporary injustices.

Study the history of the American Civil Rights Movement to learn how advocates brought national attention to the plight of African Americans in the United States; espoused non-violet, direct-action confrontation; and enacted laws that changed the course of history. After registering, click RESOURCES to enhance your knowledge and expertise about these historical events.

Participate in PROJECT C! Generate and share content on the COMMUNITY page of the PROJECT C website. Project C is unfolding in real time and participant-generated content will be used to shape future webcasts. This experience is designed to create a sense of community for all!

Interact in the live, interactive webcasts with experts, historians, social justice activists and others. Create a dynamic democracy through engagement!

Use the past to teach today’s youth the importance of civic engagement in support of a humane, civil and just society!
