LENGTH: 1 hour, 30 minutes (approximate)
You're invited to take a comprehensive journey through the spaces of the International Civil Rights Center & Museum with a senior docent who will bring your encounter to life and engage you in America's best story. This experience has been tailored to help students and educators examine the threads of creative and strategic struggle that define the Civil Rights Movement in the United States and abroad. More generally, this civic learning program will help participants use the knowledge of this informed and consequential history to help chart a more constructive and inclusive future, while critically examining historic and contemporary social movements that use direct action, non-violent protesting as a mechanism for change.
