Grades 6-12 | Atlanta History Center presents Fight for Your Rights - May 2, 2024 1:10pm Eastern Time
About this event:
Do you have what it takes to be a Freedom Fighter? Travel back in time with us and find out!
Students will explore the Civil Rights era and connect it to social movements throughout history. Our time travel guides will take students back to the 1960s and immerse them in the Atlanta Student Movement and the Atlanta Sit-Ins through compelling storytelling and historical performances. Students will receive an inside look at the planning, strategy, and sacrifices made by the founding group of students from the Atlanta University Center to end segregation in Atlanta; and will receive a special message from an original freedom fighter, Charles Black, as he passes the mantle to the next generation of changemakers.
This virtual tour combines primary source-archival footage, historical performances, and live talkback discussions.
