THE JOURNEY
OUR 4-YEAR PLAN
YEAR 1: THE COASTAL JOURNEY
This phase of the journey will explore destinations in coastal Georgia and South Carolina, including Brunswick, Georgia, Sapelo Island, Georgia, Savannah, Georgia, and Charleston, South Carolina. At each location, the students will learn oft-neglected history in high school curricula, while seeing their own potential to become history makers in their time.
YEAR 2: THE JOURNEY THROUGH THE SOUTH
This phase of the journey will explore destinations around the South, including Atlanta, Georgia, Birmingham, Alabama, Montgomery, Alabama, Memphis, Tennessee, and Little Rock, Arkansas. In addition, students will get tours of Historically Black Colleges and Universities in each city and meet with prominent city officials who are persons of color.
YEAR 3: TRUTH TO POWER
For centuries, D.C. has been the seat of power in our country. We'll take a charter bus to explore the rich history of the Civil Rights struggle, including student-led movements that were born at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in each of these cities. As part of the trip, students will visit these campuses and imagine themselves as future students and thought leaders who can shape our nation's future.
