C'ville Civil Rights Tour

Overview

We will travel by bus through the deep South for 7 days and 6 nights, visiting Civil Rights historical sites, former plantations, museums, and memorials.

Travelers will learn about Black Americans’ post-emancipation political and cultural renaissance. Reconstruction, as this post–Civil War period was called, was shaped by the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the Constitution. They were intended to strengthen the legal definition of citizenship for newly emancipated African Americans. But, fearful of Black success, state governments in the South gradually restricted Black voting and imposed Jim Crow segregation laws, which were in legal effect until the 1960s. The tour will follow this story from slavery to the Civil Rights Movement and through to our present day.
