Freedom Summer: A Civil Rights Journey 2010

Join UUSC for the Seventh Annual Civil Rights Journey

Join us for one week that could change your whole life!

UUSC is excited to announce the 2010 Freedom Summer: A Civil Rights Journey, an inspiring intergenerational trip that will take you to sites of significance in the U.S. civil-rights movement.

July 10–17, 2010, participants will travel by bus from Atlanta, Ga., to the historic cities of Birmingham, Montgomery, and Selma, Ala. There, we will meet and hear directly from some of the courageous people who worked to desegregate schools, register new voters, and bring an end to racial discrimination in the United States.

Along the way, we will learn about the progressive, nonviolent organizing techniques used by civil-rights activists and how they are still being used today to advance issues such as workers' rights, immigrant rights, and gay rights.

The cost, including hotel, meals, museum admissions, workshops, and local transportation, is $800 per person.
