View Spring 2016 Tour at www.uoficivilrightspilgrimage.blogspot.com This 3 credit course is a special course developed for students who will be participating on the 2016 Civil Rights Pilgrimage to the U.S. South and hosted by the Division of Housing. It is intended to provide an opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of the Civil Rights movement (CRM) in the U.S., and better understand these experiences as participants in this field trip to important sites and struggles of the movement in eight cities/states: Washington, DC; Greensboro, NC; Atlanta, GA; Tuskegee, AL; Montgomery, AL; Selma, AL; and Memphis, TN. Our particular focus will be on (a) want actually happened in the several cities that you will visit; (b) how youth got involved in key Civil Rights campaigns, and the development of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC); (c) exploring discussions of social movements and how social change happened; (d) examining the Civil Rights Movement broader historical context, understanding of what came before this movement; (e) impact of the 2016 Elections; (f) using the lens of the Black Lives Matter movement as a frame to think about then & now, now & then, & the future.
