"Tracing the Civil Rights Movement from 1848 to 1968"

"Tracing the Civil Rights Movement from 1848 to 1968" — An Experiential Learning Trip to the DuSable Museum of African American History in Chicago

This event is free and open to University of Michigan-Flint students only.

When we think of civil rights in America, the subject often conjures up images of the modern civil rights movement starting with the outcome of the 1954 Supreme Court case of Brown v. Board of Education. However, the struggle for black Americans to advance and be accepted as full citizens began much earlier. The DuSable Museum of African American History takes a look into the history of the civil rights movement spanning a 120-year period. Space is limited. To register, please click here.
