The Unfinished Journey: Memphis Civil Rights Alternative Spring Break Trip

The Civil Rights Alternative Spring break trip provides Bucknell students the opportunity to explore the ongoing legacy of the Civil Rights Movement. During this program student and faculty staff leaders visit historic sites, museums, and archives, as well as interact with residents of the South who participated in key events. Service to the local communities during the program is integral; we have partnered with various community-based, national and other civic organizations to serve a variety of constituencies in the Memphis area. Students are asked to consider current conditions of inequality, gain insight on the historical events and policies which still influence the region, gain an appreciation for civic mindedness and to develop a personal knowledge and commitment to to preserve important principles of our heritage and act as leaders and change agents in their personal spheres and beyond.
