SPEND SPRING BREAK ON THE CIVIL RIGHTS TOUR!

The Baylor Civil Rights Tour prompts students to explore key historical sites of the American Civil Rights Movement, examine the history of the Movement from various perspectives and disciplines, and discuss current issues surrounding the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. This experiential learning opportunity empowers students to confront complex issues, promote social awareness, and work to create a more just society.

The inaugural trip left Waco on Saturday, March 7, 2009 and returned on Sunday, March 15. Students were expected to pay for their own meals. Student Activities plans to offer the program in Spring 2010 again. To apply, please return a completed application form and a $50 application fee to Student Activities (SUB).
