Institutional Diversity, Equity, and Access

The annual Civil Rights Trip is a new initiative, launching in Spring 2024, that provides an opportunity for Haverford students and employees to travel to the American South as they learn about social justice action, race and American democracy, Southern culture and strategies for thriving citizenship, and frameworks for antiracism.

The trip takes place during spring break and includes Old Salve Mart Museum, International African American Museum, and plantation tours in Charleston, NC; Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters Museum and African American Monument in Savannah, GA; the National Center for Civil and Human Rights in Atlanta and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial in Atlanta, Georgia; and Equal Justice Initiative sites in Montgomery, Alabama. The trip will also include other notable civil rights sites in Alabama, such as the Edmund Pettus Bridge, National Voting Rights Museum, Brown Chapel AME, in Selma.

Civil Rights Trail

Follow in the footsteps of some of our greatest civil rights activists as we retrace their journey throughout Atlanta, Montgomery, and Selma. We will be immersed in dialogues, activities, and reflective processes on historic and continued struggle for racial equity, pivotal moments in history, and ways they echo through racial climate in the nation today.
