Additionally, through service learning, we will examine how reform and social justice work is performed by a nonprofit organization in the Champaign-Urbana community. The course is conducted in three stages. First, LAS Honors students explore the history and literature of the civil rights movement. Second, students dedicate time working with Urbana Champaign Books to Prisoners, a volunteer organization providing free books to prisoners in Illinois and examine the commonalities and differences in their aims and larger aims of the Civil Rights movement. Finally, Honors students will take part in the Civil Rights Pilgrimage, an alternative spring break trip for students in University Housing that visits the landmarks of southern states from the Civil Rights movement, including sites such as the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, the King center and home in Atlanta, as well as The Peace and Justice Memorial Center and the Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, Alabama. Each day’s site visit will end with a facilitated discussion of what we saw and learned. Students enrolled in this course must live in university housing.

Students will travel to Brazil during Spring Break (3/13 - 3/22) and will work alongside Brazilian students at the Universidade Federal de Itajubá on a case-study. In addition, students will increase their ability to empathize and consider different perspective by reflecting on their experience of interacting with a different culture, its people, and its customs. There will be four classes on campus before departing to Brazil. These will be arranged with instructors. Restriction(s): Restricted to Liberal Arts & Sciences.
