Civil Rights Trip to the South - 8th & 9th Grades
Students in grades 8 & 9 are invited on a once-in-a-lifetime Civil Rights trip to the South. In partnership with Tzedek America, teens will travel to Alabama where they will experience immersive learning delving deep into the history of the Civil Rights Movement. Through Birmingham, Montgomery, and Selma, teens will have the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of activists who played a pivotal role in the struggle for Civil Rights. They'll learn from seasoned educators, be chaperoned by Temple Judea staff, and bond with teens from Judea and from other local synagogues. This transformative and inspirational experience runs from Friday, November 8 - Monday, November 11, 2024.
This trip was so impactful because it turned all of the history that I usually learned from a textbook into reality by being able to see the historic landmarks and listen to stories of oppression. It added a completely different perspective that I couldn't have learned in a classroom - Past Participant
