Students Embark on Winter Civil Rights Trip
Last weekend, Upper School students and faculty from Park School and Baltimore City College High School embarked on the annual Civil Rights Trip. The group has been traveling together through the American south to visit, study, and engage with people and places that were — and are — important to the Civil Rights Movement.
Stops have included Greensboro, N.C., where the group learned about lunch counter sit-ins, and Selma, Ala., where they walked across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, a national historic landmark, among other locations. They’ve heard from inspiring speakers throughout the journey, including Dr. Horace Huntley, Director of the Oral History Project for the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, and Andrea Young, Executive Director of the ACLU of Georgia. Students have been fortunate to learn about new places and perspectives every day.
