A Year of Learning
Throughout the year, students study slavery, Reconstruction, segregation, the Civil Rights Movement, and the ongoing legacy of racial injustice — including the work of Bryan Stevenson and the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI). By the time we depart, our students are deeply prepared to engage with this history in person.

STUDENT CONNECTION
A highlight of the trip is our partnership with 8th graders at Bellingrath Middle School in Montgomery. After connecting throughout the school year, students will meet face-to-face, spend time on campus, and collaborate on a project in Bellingrath's STEM Lab — building relationships and exchanging perspectives across communities and lived experiences.
"The trip is educational, emotionally impactful, and deeply rewarding. Our hope is that students leave with a stronger understanding of American history, a deeper sense of empathy, and a clearer understanding of their role as thoughtful and engaged citizens."
The goal of the trip is for our students to have a very rich and deep understanding of basic human rights and civil rights. We want them to see that ordinary people can do extraordinary things. As a community we commit to taking our students to some of the places in the country where ordinary people came together to demand civil rights and equality.
By sending our students to Georgia and Alabama as a community we are aligning our actions with our values. We are sending a message to our students that change is possible and that they have the power to define the world they want to live in. - Katherine Sanford, Social Studies teacher at Lagunitas Middle School
Why Alabama
Each Spring, the students from the Lagunitas Middle School located in West Marin, California take a trip of a lifetime! After studying the history of the Civil Rights Movement in America, our students spend a week visiting in-person momentous sites in Alabama and Georgia.
Many communities and schools send their students to Washington DC as part of their 8th grade year. When we do this we reinforce the idea that Washington DC is where power lives and change happens. However, if you look at the whole of our history it is a small and relatively homogeneous group who have held power in DC. Instead, it is a far more diverse and powerful group of changemakers who have guided many of our proudest moments far from the halls of power in DC.
