US CIVIL
RIGHTS: ON THE
ROAD TO FREEDOM
Jackson, Little Rock, Memphis, Selma,
Birmingham, and Montgomery
OCTOBER 18–25, 2020
The civil rights movement is one of the most significant chapters in our country’s
history. Over a half-century after the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., it is
time for our nation to reflect on how far we’ve come and how much remains to
be accomplished. While we confront increasingly racialized violence, emboldened
white nationalists, and a morally bankrupt president, we can look back to the
victories of the past and to the hundreds of thousands of brave Americans who
fueled this history-altering movement, fighting—and too often dying—for the
cause of equality.
For those working toward social justice today, there are great lessons to be
learned from the civil rights movement, in which a profound demonstration of
commitment and courage succeeded against all odds. In the words of Dr. King,
“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”
Join host André Robert Lee, acclaimed filmmaker and educator, and travel in
the company of like-minded progressives on this journey to Jackson, Little
Rock, Memphis, Selma, Birmingham, and Montgomery. Along the way we
will visit iconic sites and meet people who were directly involved in the historic
civil rights movement.
