Field trip opportunities for students to explore their own community have been obliterated due to the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to curb the spread of the virus. Further, while schools across the country have faced budget cuts and shifted resources to cover pandemic-related costs, in under-resourced communities such as Montgomery’s, the COVID-19 crisis has intensified pre-existing financial conditions that had already resulted in strict budget limitations on field trips in years prior to this pandemic. This project will give my Center for Law students a way to explore and share with each other the significance of the landmarks of their own community’s civil rights-related events. They will learn and share with each other how the events represented by these landmarks have shaped local, national, and world history and that are influencing the cultural climate that Booker T. Washington Magnet High School students experience today. As the students gain a deeper understanding of the related historical, present, and projected legal trends that have impacted civil rights issues, they will create hands-on art projects expressing their reactions to the issues that their community’s cultural geography landmarks represent. This will provide an opportunity for the students to practice self-awareness and self-expression. Finally, as my students share this project with our partner high school in California, they will create a connection with these other students based on understanding how local community history is linked to civil rights issues on a national and global scale.
