“No more Birminghams.”

This photograph captures a moment when people refused to accept brutality as inevitable. The Civil Rights Movement was sustained by courage, discipline, and a relentless insistence on human dignity.

Deepen your knowledge of the legacy of Dr. King and so many others. Apply by January 20. Learn more here: https://cwbpgh.org/seminar/marching-down-freedoms-road-a-civil-rights-journey/

Crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge is not symbolic. It is instructional.

Here, peaceful marchers were met with violence for demanding the right to vote. To walk this bridge is to confront the cost of citizenship and the courage required to expand democracy.

Marching Down Freedom’s Road brings educators to Selma to study the Civil Rights Movement where history was made—and to return to their classrooms prepared to teach justice, civic responsibility, and moral choice with clarity and care. Applications close Tuesday. Learn more here: https://cwbpgh.org/seminar/marching-down-freedoms-road-a-civil-rights-journey/

Equality in jobs. Equality in education. Equality in the vote.

This 1946 NAACP ad makes unmistakably clear what was at stake—and how long these demands have been voiced. To understand the Civil Rights Movement, you have to reckon with moments like this, when the meaning of democracy was made explicit.

Marching Down Freedom’s Road is a special opportunity for educators to study this history where it unfolded and return to their classrooms with insight that deepens teaching and learning. Learn more here: https://cwbpgh.org/seminar/marching-down-freedoms-road-a-civil-rights-journey/

“President Johnson, go to Selma now.”

A reminder that civic action can force national change. Selma illustrates how grassroots movements shaped federal power, civil rights legislation, and the responsibilities of leadership—core themes in AP U.S. History and AP Government.

Marching Down Freedom’s Road gives educators the chance to study these moments where they happened and bring that clarity back to their classrooms. Learn more here: https://cwbpgh.org/seminar/marching-down-freedoms-road-a-civil-rights-journey/

Educators who participate in Marching Down Freedom’s Road do more than study history—they bring it back to life for their students.

This is how learning becomes action.
