Learning for Justice: The Road to 60 Freedom Summer Session ([link removed])

We are piloting our Community Justice Sites programming at the SPLC’s Road to 60 Summit in Mississippi (Aug. 15 to 17). Community Justice Sites are Freedom Schools and Citizenship Schools for everyone. When we “learn for justice,” we center learning to inform our action for liberation and justice in our communities.

This pilot session ([link removed]) introduces our Youth Learning for Justice modules. Through education that teaches honest history, introduces servant leadership and provides entry into the movement for social justice, we aim to help young people realize their power to shape the future. These learning modules cultivate learning, reflection and action.

** Strategies of the Civil Rights Movement ([link removed])

Our goal is not simply to learn about the Civil Rights Movement but to learn from the movement. This learning module examines the questions: How did people organize, and what strategies did they use in this movement to change society?
