in the Footsteps of Dr. King
In the Footsteps of Dr. King is a unique experiential education program designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to combat bigotry and intolerance, by learning about the history and modern-day impacts of the Civil Rights movement. The program includes a five-day trip to Georgia and Alabama, where students (more than 120 over six years) have met Civil Rights leaders and have visited historical sites in Atlanta, Tuskegee, Selma, Montgomery, and Birmingham. The program has also developed an academic curriculum for an undergraduate course entitled the “Civil Right Movement of the 1960s”. The program impacts the lives of our students, many of whom have decided to pursue careers in public service. Your gift continues Dr. King’s vision of social justice, racial equality, human dignity, mutual respect, and opportunity for all.
