Students will have the opportunity to visit: HBCU Civil Rights Landmark Morehouse College   MLK Jr. National Historical Park   Spelman College   Dexter Avenue Memorial Baptist Church   Clark Atlanta University   National Memorial for Peace & Justice Alabama State University   Selma Interpretive Center/Voting Rights Museum   Tuskegee University   Edmund Pettus Bridge/National Center Civil Rights On this once-in-a-lifetime adventure, students will have the opportunity to earn college credits, explore our nation's most important historical sites and experience incomparable learning moments.
