Driven2Teach will sponsor a Field Study on the Civil Rights Movement in South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. Field Study participants will visit locations significant in the Civil Right Movement and museums created to commemorate important events and individuals. They will hear from individuals who participated in the Civil Rights Movement. This course is designed for teachers of later United States History and is intended for high school teachers and 5th grade elementary teachers who include the Civil Rights Movement in their social studies curriculum. Teachers will study significant issues, events, leaders, resistance, and successes of the Civil Rights Movement.
The tour will start in Charleston, South Carolina, where participants will study the beginning of the slave trade, the institution of slavery and the Civil War. They will then visit Atlanta, Georgia, where participants will study the history of African Americans and the role of Martin Luther King at the Martin Luther King National Museum. Then, it is off to Tuskegee, Alabama, where participants will visit the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site to consider these pioneers of the Civil Rights movement and will spend time in the George Washington Carver Museum. Participants will then travel to Selma, Birmingham, and Montgomery, Alabama to study at the Civil Rights Institute and the Rosa Parks Museum and to visit the 16th Street Baptist Church and will cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge with one of the original marchers.
