Alabama Civil Rights Virtual Experience (BLM series)
Virtual Civil Rights Alabama Experience
Alabama was a center of the Civil Rights Movement, and we take your students on a journey throughout the state and teach them about some of its defining events.
We head to Selma and learn about some of the events leading up to Bloody Sunday. We discuss the Children’s Crusade and hear what some of the participants have to say about their involvement. We visit Tuskegee University and also hear about the Airmen and Syphilis Study. In Birmingham, we discuss the 16th St. Baptist Church bombing and take a walk around Kelly Ingraham Park. We explore the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, also known as The Lynching Museum. Of course, no tour of Alabama Civil Rights would be complete without discussing Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., his beginnings, and how he became the leader of the movement.
