Annual Civil Rights Trip Featured in Baltimore Banner Article
Since 2004, more than 1,000 Baltimore-area high school students have traveled through the South, visiting sites and meeting people that were — and are — important to the Civil Rights Movement. What they experience is used as a springboard for discussion about activism and ways we can tackle current civil rights issues in Baltimore and beyond.
Park’s Upper School Principal Traci Wright was inspired to create this trip almost 20 years ago after a former student shared a powerful experience about visiting the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute in Alabama.
John-John Williams IV from the Baltimore Banner interviewed students and faculty from Park School and City College about the importance of this annual trip.
