Since 2002, the eighth grade has traveled to Georgia and Alabama to conclude their study of the Civil Rights Movement. They visit historical sites, but it is the people they meet that have the biggest impact; students spend time with veterans of the 1950s and 1960s efforts, and meet community activists working for change in the present day.
See www.gordonschool.org/civilrights for news from this year's trip, and many examples of how the trip has become part of the Gordon experience. |
